CVE-2026-85129 Details
Description
The Hoo Companion WordPress plugin 1.0.2 does not have any authorisation or validation checks in one of its import features, and does not sanitise the data submitted to it before storing it as the active theme's settings, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts which will execute for anyone viewing the site, including administrators. The same request destroys the site's existing theme settings.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Hoo Companion WordPress plugin, version 1.0.2. The issue arises from the plugin's import feature, which lacks proper authorization and validation checks.
