CVE-2026-118165: Firelight Lightbox: Stored cross-site scripting

The Firelight Lightbox WordPress plugin before 2.3.23 does not escape the URL of links it opens in its Classic lightbox before inserting it into the page as HTML, which could allow users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against users who click a crafted link. Exploitation requires the victim interaction described above; merely storing the payload is not sufficient. The structured affected range is < 2.3.23.
