What is CVE-2026-9714?

The Simple Divi Shortcode plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting through the 'id' parameter of the [showmodule] shortcode. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in the showmodule_shortcode() function. Attackers with contributor-level access can exploit this flaw by injecting arbitrary HTML into pages, leading to the execution of malicious scripts when users access those pages. Ensuring proper escaping of dynamic shortcode strings is essential to mitigate this risk.
