CVE-2026-96650: Strong Testimonials: Stored XSS through testimonial photo metadata

The Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'platform_user_photo' Custom Field in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires that an administrator has added custom text fields named 'platform' and 'platform_user_photo' to a public testimonial submission form, as the plugin does not reserve those internal metadata keys. No fixed release is confirmed by the reviewed evidence. Upstream version 3.3.12 is newer and may resolve the issue, but its changelog does not clearly confirm this specific fix.

Sep 30, 2026 CVE-2026-97286
Strong Testimonials: Stored cross-site scripting
Strong Testimonials through 3.3.11 permits stored cross-site scripting: attacker-controlled content can execute scripts when a victim views the affected output. The current CVSS vector requires low privileges and victim interaction, but the revised authoritative description no longer names a minimum WordPress role. The authoritative export does not identify the vulnerable endpoint, action, parameter, function or exact rendering context, so the precise input-to-operation. The authoritative export identifies the fixed release as 3.3.12.

Sep 18, 2026 CVE-2026-92622
Strong Testimonials: Stored XSS through testimonial lightbox classes
The Strong Testimonials plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'lightbox_class' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output 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. Exploitation requires that the targeted testimonial view has at least one published testimonial with a featured image and the lightbox wrapper enabled, as the vulnerable code path is only reached when a thumbnail is rendered. The image and lightbox requirements are essential; the export does not name the submission route or rendering function. Affected versions reported by the CNA: <= 3.3.8. No fixed release is confirmed for this CVE in this review.
