{"cve":"CVE-2026-2430","nvd":{"published":"2026-03-21T00:16:26.053","modified":"2026-06-17T10:30:56.537","status":"Deferred","description":"The Autoptimize plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the lazy-loading image processing in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.14. This is due to the use of an overly permissive regular expression in the `add_lazyload` function that replaces all occurrences of `\\ssrc=` in image tags without limiting to the actual attribute. 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 by crafting an image tag where the `src` URL contains a space followed by `src=`, causing the regex to break the HTML structure and promote text inside attribute values into executable HTML attributes.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.4},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://github.com/futtta/autoptimize/commit/a0f87112fe80b5a97b036229c41cb18454392858","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/autoptimize/tags/3.1.14/classes/autoptimizeImages.php#L987","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/autoptimize/trunk/classes/autoptimizeImages.php#L987","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3482530%40autoptimize&new=3482530%40autoptimize&sfp_email=&sfph_mail=","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/ddc5c4d7-09dc-45bf-a3c7-5a0757e3110a?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:26:19.218427112+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-2430","score":0.00206,"percentile":0.1066,"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).
