CVE-2026-84935 Details
Description
The HT Menu WordPress plugin before 1.2.7 does not perform any capability or object-ownership check when saving navigation menu-item settings, and does not escape those stored settings when the menu is rendered, allowing users with minimal permissions such as Subscribers to store JavaScript that executes in the browser of any visitor, administrators included, who views the affected menu.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the HT Menu WordPress plugin, affecting versions prior to 1.2.7. The issue arises because the plugin does not implement capability or object-ownership checks when saving navigation menu-item settings. Additionally, it fails to properly escape these settings when the menu is displayed. This oversight allows users with minimal permissions, such as Subscribers, to inject JavaScript that executes in the browsers of visitors, including administrators, who view the affected menu.
Users are advised to update the HT Menu WordPress plugin to version 1.2.7 or later.
