CVE-2026-8625 Details
Description
The Dear Flipbook – PDF Flipbook, 3D Flipbook, PDF embed, PDF viewer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'post_content (Custom HTML block inner HTML)' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.30 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 Contributor-level attacker can insert a crafted .df-element div with data-df-lightbox='thumb' via a Custom HTML block, whose inner HTML is passed as the title argument to parseThumbs() at render time, enabling both innerHTML injection into a span element and attribute breakout via an onerror handler on a constructed img element.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Dear Flipbook WordPress plugin, specifically in versions through 2.4.30. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. The injected scripts execute when a user accesses the affected page. Exploitation involves inserting a crafted '.df-element' div with a specific data attribute into a Custom HTML block, which is then processed in a way that bypasses standard security measures.
Users are advised to update the Dear Flipbook plugin to version 2.4.37 or later, where this vulnerability has been patched.
