CVE-2026-4657 Details
Description
The Easy Google Fonts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the control_selectors meta field in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.4. This is due to the plugin registering the control_selectors meta field with show_in_rest enabled but without a sanitize_callback, and subsequently outputting this unsanitized data directly into <style> tags on the frontend without proper escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Easy Google Fonts plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 2.0.4. The issue arises because the plugin registers the control_selectors meta field with REST API visibility but without a sanitization callback. This unsanitized data is then directly output into <style> tags on the frontend, lacking proper escaping. As a result, authenticated attackers with Author-level access or higher can inject arbitrary scripts into pages, which will execute when users access the modified pages.
