CVE-2026-8845 Details
Description
The Islamic Database plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'islamicDB-roqya' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied 'width' and 'height' shortcode attributes within the islamicDB_sc_quran_qari_roqya() function, which are concatenated directly into HTML iframe attribute values. 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 Islamic Database plugin for WordPress, affecting versions through 1.0. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping on user-defined 'width' and 'height' attributes of the 'islamicDB-roqya' shortcode. These attributes are directly inserted into HTML iframe tags, allowing authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts. The injected scripts are executed when a user views the affected page.
No known patch is available. It is recommended to uninstall the affected plugin and find a replacement.
