CVE-2026-96682 Details
Description
The Presto Player plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content via <presto-player> Tag in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.1 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 an initial comment approval, though WordPress default settings will auto-approve all subsequent comments from the same author, allowing a patient unauthenticated attacker to land the payload without further admin intervention.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Presto Player plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 4.5.1. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages via comment content. These scripts execute when a user accesses the affected page. Exploitation requires initial comment approval, but WordPress's default settings will automatically approve subsequent comments from the same author, enabling an attacker to deliver the payload without further intervention from an administrator.
Users are advised to update the Presto Player plugin to version 4.5.2 or a newer patched version.
