CVE-2026-1191JavaScript Notifier <= 1.2.8 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Plugin Settings
Medium 4.4
In plain English
A medium-severity cross-site scripting in JavaScript Notifier from freemp. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.2% (higher than 14% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The JavaScript Notifier plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.8. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the `wp_footer` action. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
