What is CVE-2026-89002?

The WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher plugin for WordPress prior to version 2.8.26 fails to adequately sanitize and escape content retrieved from user-supplied sources. This oversight can enable contributors to exploit the vulnerability and execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, affecting higher-privileged users who review the campaigns. As a result, it poses a significant risk of injecting malicious scripts, allowing the attacker to manipulate web sessions or phish sensitive information.

Affected Version(s)

WPeMatico RSS Feed Fetcher 0 < 2.8.26

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
