What is CVE-2026-76573?

The Pods plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the 'not_found' shortcode attribute. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, which enables authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts into pages. When users access these compromised pages, the scripts execute, potentially leading to a range of malicious activities, including data theft and session hijacking.
