{"id":"CVE-2026-8701","state":"PUBLISHED","title":"GNTT Post Title Ticker <= 1.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes","description":"The GNTT Post Title Ticker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in version 1.0 via the `title-ticker-slide`, `title-ticker-fade`, and `title-ticker-typing` shortcodes. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on shortcode attributes (notably `border`, `width`, `height`, `header_background`, `header_text_color`, and `id`) within the `gntt_title_ticker_slide()`, `gntt_title_ticker_fade()`, and `gntt_title_ticker_typing()` functions. None of these attribute values are passed through `esc_attr()` or any other escaping function before being concatenated into HTML output. 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.","publishedAt":"2026-05-27T05:31:23.128Z","updatedAt":"2026-05-27T10:37:43.456Z","severity":{"score":6.4,"label":"Medium","version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","source":"Wordfence"},"assigner":"Wordfence","products":["golzarrahman GNTT Post Title Ticker"],"affected":[{"vendor":"golzarrahman","product":"GNTT Post Title Ticker","defaultStatus":"unaffected","versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"1.0","versionType":"semver"}]}],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/37f8eced-905c-4623-b382-055561fd25a0?source=cve","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gntt-post-title-ticker/trunk/gntt-post-title-ticker.php#L56","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/gntt-post-title-ticker/trunk/gntt-post-title-ticker.php#L29"],"weaknesses":["CWE-79"],"ingestedAt":"2026-10-29T20:13:26.108Z","source":{"repository":"CVEProject/cvelistV5","path":"cves/2026/8xxx/CVE-2026-8701.json","commit":"556c9d3a8cd17e218bb8e452ba7cd619a384ff47"},"raw":{"dataType":"CVE_RECORD","dataVersion":"5.2","cveMetadata":{"cveId":"CVE-2026-8701","state":"PUBLISHED","datePublished":"2026-05-27T05:31:23.128Z","dateUpdated":"2026-05-27T10:37:43.456Z","assignerShortName":"Wordfence","assignerOrgId":"b15e7b5b-3da4-40ae-a43c-f7aa60e62599","dateReserved":"2026-05-15T17:40:08.858Z"},"containers":{"cna":{"title":"GNTT Post Title Ticker <= 1.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes","descriptions":[{"lang":"en","value":"The GNTT Post Title Ticker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in version 1.0 via the `title-ticker-slide`, `title-ticker-fade`, and `title-ticker-typing` shortcodes.
