Animate Your Content, CVE-2026-8872

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2026-8872
Home page URL: Security reports for Animate Your Content
Application: Animate Your Content
Published on: May 27, 2026
Research Description: The Animate Your Content plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'animation-set' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes in the shortcode_args_to_html_attrs() function, which concatenates shortcode attribute values directly into double-quoted HTML attributes without calling esc_attr(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
Affected versions: max 1.0.0.
Status: vulnerable
