CVE-2026-6641 Details
Description
The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'mla_gallery' shortcode in versions up to and including 3.35. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the mla_link_href parameter when mla_output is set to 'paginate_links', where the _paginate_links() function processes the value through mla_process_shortcode_parameter() and _replace_query_parameter() without proper URL escaping, then outputs it directly in href attributes without applying esc_url(). 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.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 3.35. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on the 'mla_link_href' parameter of the 'mla_gallery' shortcode. When 'mla_output' is set to 'paginate_links', the '_paginate_links()' function processes the parameter without proper URL escaping, directly injecting it into href attributes. This flaw allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to embed arbitrary scripts that execute when a user views the affected page.
Users are advised to update the Media Library Assistant plugin to version 3.36 or later.
