CVE-2023-47809Network attack vector

Stored XSS via unsanitized accordion settings

Published Nov 22, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site scripting in ThemePoints Accordion WP 2.6 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts via crafted accordion settings. The plugin stores several settings parameters without sufficient input sanitization and later renders them without output escaping, allowing script execution when a page containing the accordion is viewed. Editor-level or higher WordPress access is required to inject the payload, and execution affects visitors to the injected page.
