CVE-2026-119211 Details
Description
The AAA Autoload Optimizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'option_page' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.7.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the plugin's Option Tracking setting to be configured to 'Legacy' mode, and succeeds despite WordPress ultimately returning HTTP 403 to the low-privileged caller because the vulnerable 'all' filter fires before the capability check in wp-admin/options.php.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the AAA Autoload Optimizer plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 1.7.0. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into pages. These scripts execute when a user accesses the compromised page. Exploitation requires the plugin's Option Tracking setting to be in 'Legacy' mode. Notably, the vulnerability bypasses WordPress's capability check in wp-admin/options.php, as the 'all' filter is triggered beforehand.
Users are advised to update the AAA Autoload Optimizer plugin to version 1.7.1 or a newer patched version.
