CVE-2026-0549

The Groups plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'groups_group_info' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.10.0 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.

Summary		(es) El plugin Groups para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través del shortcode 'groups_group_info' del plugin en todas las versiones hasta la 3.10.0, inclusive, debido a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes en atributos proporcionados por el usuario. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de colaborador y superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada.
