{"cve":"CVE-2026-8867","nvd":{"published":"2026-05-27T07:16:16.103","modified":"2026-06-17T11:04:32.607","status":"Deferred","description":"The Post Category Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'postcategorygallery' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied shortcode attributes (such as total_width, color_scheme, and caption_font_size) inside the sc_horcatbar() function, which are concatenated directly into HTML attribute values. 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.","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://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/post-category-gallery/trunk/horcatbar.php#L79","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/post-category-gallery/trunk/horcatbar.php#L97","https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/f439718e-4a3d-4dc9-a16c-6b655480dde6?source=cve"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:36:28.938604137+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-8867","score":0.00198,"percentile":0.09534,"date":"2026-11-01"},"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).
