CVE-2026-17149

The Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program – myCred plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'wrapper' Shortcode Attribute in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

What this means for your business

  • An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, with an ordinary user login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.

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.
