CVE-2025-46478Network attack vector

Stored script execution via unneutralized shortcode input

Published Apr 24, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Metaloha Dropdown Content 1.0.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts in visitors' browsers. The shortcode handlers pass author-defined class, name, and value attributes into HTML templates after trimming alone, without neutralizing them in the handlers. Patchstack does not disclose which attribute is injectable; exploitation requires a visitor to load the affected stored content.
