CVE-2026-9620
Cross-site Scripting: is CVE-2026-9620real, exploitable, or a false positive? Here's the community verdict.
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
The WP Latest Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via crafted image src attributes in post content in versions up to, and including, 5.0.11. This is due to insufficient output escaping in the field() and loop() functions, which extract the raw src attribute value from <img> tags within post_content using a regular expression and then reconstruct new <img> elements or CSS background-image declarations by directly concatenating the unescaped value — bypassing WordPress's kses filtering entirely. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Multiple vulnerabilities in the web services interface of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software and Cisco Firepower Threat Defense (FTD) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against a user of the web services interface of an affected device. The vulnerabilities are due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input by the web services interface of an affected device. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by persuading a user of the interface to click a crafted link. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the interface or allow the attacker to access sensitive, browser-based information. Note: These vulnerabilities affect only specific AnyConnect and WebVPN configurations. For more information, see the Vulnerable Products section.
