CVE-2026-116761 Details
Description
The CMB2 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'cmb43ex1_grp[0][txt] (wysiwyg field inside group — field id controlled by integrator config)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.13.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is only exploitable when a site integrator renders the plugin's documented front-end form helper with a wysiwyg field inside a repeatable group on a publicly accessible page.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the CMB2 plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.13.4. The issue arises in the 'cmb43ex1_grp[0][txt]' parameter, specifically within a WYSIWYG field inside a repeatable group. This vulnerability is due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts. The injected scripts execute when a user accesses the affected page. Exploitation requires the site integrator to use the plugin's front-end form helper with a WYSIWYG field in a repeatable group on a publicly accessible page.
Users are advised to update the CMB2 WordPress plugin to version 2.13.5 or a newer patched version.
