What is CVE-2026-91022?

The Motors WordPress plugin prior to version 1.4.124 contains a security flaw that fails to properly sanitize and escape a listing badge setting before it is rendered within an HTML attribute. This oversight enables users assigned to specific listing-management roles to inject malicious web scripts. Such scripts can execute when a listing is accessed by any visitor, posing a risk to both users and administrators viewing the content.

Affected Version(s)

Motors 0 < 1.4.124

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.
