CVE-2026-118050 PUBLISHED

Football Pool <= 2.13.5 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shoutbox Message

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 27.10.2026 Published: 07.11.2026 Updated: 07.11.2026

The Football Pool plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'shouttext' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.13.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected script only fires in the admin Edit view for a shout; the public Shoutbox widget and the admin list view both encode output via Football_Pool_Utils::xssafe(), making the admin Edit view the sole unescaped sink.
