CVE-2026-2384Network attack vector

Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped shortcode attributes

Published Feb 20, 2026 · Updated Feb 20, 2026

Stored XSS in AYS Pro Quiz Maker 6.7.1.7 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through vc_quizmaker attributes. The WPBakery integration accepts user-supplied shortcode attributes without sufficient sanitization and emits them into page output without contextual escaping. Contributor-level access and an active WPBakery Page Builder installation are required; the stored script runs when a visitor opens the affected page.
