CVE, Research URL: CVE-2021-24408
Home page URL: Security reports for Prismatic
Application: Prismatic
Date: Jul 13, 2021
Research Description: The Prismatic WordPress plugin before 2.8 does not sanitise or validate some of its shortcode parameters, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to set Cross-Site payload in them. A post made by a contributor would still have to be approved by an admin to have the XSS trigger able in the frontend, however, higher privilege users, such as editor could exploit this without the need of approval, and even when the blog disallows the unfiltered_html capability.
Affected versions: max 2.8.
Status: vulnerable

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-3876
Home page URL: Security reports for Prismatic
Application: Prismatic
Date: Apr 16, 2026
Research Description: The Prismatic plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'prismatic_encoded' pseudo-shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.7.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the 'prismatic_decode' function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page by submitting a comment containing a crafted 'prismatic_encoded' pseudo-shortcode.
Affected versions: max 3.7.4.
Status: vulnerable
