CVE-2026-6256

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Credits Shortcode versions prior to 1.3

Description Stored Cross-Site Scripting occurs due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages via the link attribute of the credits shortcode. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the affected page.

Recommendations Update the plugin to a version later than 1.2. As a temporary mitigation, restrict the ability of users with contributor-level access to edit pages containing the credits shortcode.
