Stored XSS via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Feb 14, 2026 · Updated Feb 14, 2026
Stored XSS in the QuestionPro Surveys plugin 1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through shortcode attributes. The questionpro shortcode handler places user-supplied attributes into rendered page markup without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. Contributor-level access is required, and the stored script runs when an affected page is viewed, enabling actions in the viewer's browser context.
