Latest vulnerability

CVE-2026-96564: SEOPress: Stored XSS through author tracking dimensions

The SEOPress – AI SEO Plugin & On-site SEO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Author Display Name in all versions up to, and including, 10.2 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 the 'Track Authors' custom dimension to be configured in the plugin's Google Analytics 4 or Matomo settings, and the attacker must be able to publish public singular content (e.g., via bbPress forum topics) so that the injected display name is rendered in the tracking script. The export calls the issue unauthenticated but also requires attacker-controlled author metadata and the ability to publish public singular content. It does not establish a universal minimum WordPress role; those publication and tracking-configuration prerequisites must both hold. No fixed release is confirmed by the reviewed evidence. Upstream version 10.3 is newer and may resolve the issue, but its changelog does not clearly confirm this specific fix.
