CVE-2026-2496 PUBLISHED

Ed's Font Awesome <= 2.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 13.02.2026 Published: 21.03.2026 Updated: 21.03.2026

The Ed's Font Awesome plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's eds_font_awesome shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
