CVE-2026-8896 PUBLISHED

MIR blocks and shortcodes <= 1.0.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes

Assigner: Wordfence
Reserved: 18.05.2026 Published: 24.06.2026 Updated: 24.06.2026

The MIR blocks and shortcodes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'title' attribute (and other attributes such as 'ready_animation_text') of the 'msc_stats' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 1.0.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied shortcode attributes inside the msc_stats() rendering function. 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.
