MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress <= 4.12.0 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Form Response Messages

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 22.03.2026 Published: 22.08.2026 Updated: 22.08.2026

The MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the form response message post meta fields (e.g., 'text_subscribed', 'text_error') in all versions up to, and including, 4.12.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
