Until one ships, restrict the Contributor role to trusted users, or deactivate the Master Slider  WordPress plugin through 3.11.2. Site owners who need to keep it active can block the ms_slider shortcode for roles below Editor, for example with a shortcode-restriction Master Slider  WordPress plugin through 3.11.2, which prevents the attack without removing the Master Slider  WordPress plugin through 3.11.2.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":6.8},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://wpscan.com/vulnerability/06a5409c-3070-417f-98cb-0ca8ddbfe14c/"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:55:23.253742848+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-14844","score":0.00431,"percentile":0.37376,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
