CVE-2026-2300Network attack vector

Authenticated stored script execution via attribute boundary confusion

Published May 12, 2026 · Updated May 12, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in Bjørn Johansen's BJ Lazy Load 1.0.9 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run scripts in visitors' browsers. The filter_images() function uses preg_replace() to rewrite src attributes without preserving HTML attribute boundaries, so crafted text inside a class value becomes executable DOM attributes. Contributor-level access is required to store the payload in page content, and the script runs when a visitor opens the affected page.
