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 'list_readmore_numberofwords' Other Parameters setting to be configured with a positive integer value; the default value of 0 bypasses the decode-and-truncate branch entirely and is not exploitable through this sink.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":7.2},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"references":["https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/appointment-hour-booking/tags/1.5.97/classes/cp-base-class.inc.php#L81","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/appointment-hour-booking/tags/1.5.97/cp-main-class.inc.php#L1473","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/appointment-hour-booking/tags/1.5.97/cp-main-class.inc.php#L1609","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/appointment-hour-booking/tags/1.5.97/cp-main-class.inc.php#L1745","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/appointment-hour-booking/tags/1.5.97/mv/js/jquery.calendar.js"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:57:46.668721662+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-96573","score":0.00259,"percentile":0.17383,"date":"2026-10-25"},"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).
