CVE-2026-96649 Details
Description
The Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite – Frontend Posting WordPress Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via post_content Parameter (data-label DOM Sink) in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This requires the site operator to have enabled guest post submission via the [fpsm] shortcode, which registers a publicly accessible AJAX handler gated only by a nonce emitted on every page containing the shortcode.
A stored DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite WordPress plugin, affecting all versions through 1.3.4. The vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute when users access the compromised pages. Exploitation requires the site operator to have enabled guest post submissions using the [fpsm] shortcode, which activates a publicly accessible AJAX handler protected only by a nonce.
Users are advised to update the Frontend Post Submission Manager Lite WordPress plugin to version 1.3.5 or a newer patched version.
