CVE-2026-4512 Details
Description
The reCaptcha by WebDesignBy WordPress plugin before 2.0 does not sanitize or escape the Site Key setting before outputting it in a JavaScript string context via the grecaptcha_js() function. This allows administrators on multisite installations (who do not have the unfiltered_html capability) to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes for all visitors to the WordPress login page.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the WP reCaptcha by WebDesignBy WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 2.0. The issue arises because the plugin fails to properly sanitize or escape the Site Key setting before it is output in a JavaScript string context through the grecaptcha_js() function.
