This is due to insufficient output escaping on form shortcode keys displayed in the admin \"Scan Forms for Post Meta and User Data Keys\" page. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Editor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an Administrator runs the scan feature.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":4.4},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/tags/5.0.4/includes/admin/settings.php#L544","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension/tags/5.0.4/includes/admin/settings.php#L559","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?new=3561908%40contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension%2Ftags%2F5.0.6&old=3463604%40contact-form-7-dynamic-text-extension%2Ftags%2F5.0.5","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/759add85-3d72-46d5-a973-dd8dcfb9f336?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:47:10.050265369+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-5116","score":0.00311,"percentile":0.23962,"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).
