CVE-2026-3996 (GCVE-0-2026-3996)

Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-03-21 03:26 – Updated: 2026-04-08 16:58

Title
WP Games Embed <= 0.1beta - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes
Summary
The WP Games Embed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the [game] shortcode in all versions up to and including 0.1beta. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes such as 'width', 'height', 'src', 'title', 'description', 'game_url', 'main', and 'thumb', which are all directly concatenated into HTML output without any escaping. 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.
Severity ?
6.4 (Medium)
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
