CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-9620
Home page URL: Security reports for WP Latest Posts
Application: WP Latest Posts
Date: Jun 24, 2026
Research Description: 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.
Affected versions: max 5.0.11.
Status: vulnerable

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2024-4135
Home page URL: Security reports for WP Latest Posts
Application: WP Latest Posts
Date: May 08, 2024
Research Description: The WP Latest Posts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.7. This is due to the plugin allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a user-supplied value prior to using that value in a call to do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.
Affected versions: max 5.0.8.
Status: vulnerable
