3.5Low

CVE-2026-13416

The CMP WordPress plugin before 4.1.18 does not sanitise and escape a settings value before outputting it on the coming-soon page, allowing users with the Editor role (when the administrator has granted the Editor role access to the CMP WordPress plugin before 4.1.18's admin-bar controls) to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a visitor views the page.

What this means for your business

  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, with an administrator login, but only after tricking someone into an action such as opening a file or a link.

What to do

  1. 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
  2. 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
