CVE-2026-6397

The Sticky plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `cvmh-sticky` shortcode `readmoretext` attribute in versions up to and including 2.5.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the `cvmh_sticky_front_render()` function — the `readmoretext` attribute value is passed through `apply_filters()` and directly concatenated into the HTML output without any escaping function such as `esc_html()`. 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 a page containing the injected shortcode.

Summary
  • (es) El plugin Sticky para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través del atributo 'readmoretext' del shortcode 'cvmh-sticky' en versiones hasta la 2.5.6 inclusive. Esto se debe a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes en la función 'cvmh_sticky_front_render()' - el valor del atributo 'readmoretext' se pasa a través de 'apply_filters()' y se concatena directamente en la salida HTML sin ninguna función de escape como 'esc_html()'. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con acceso de nivel Colaborador o superior inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página que contenga el shortcode inyectado.
