Simple Link Directory through 9.0.4 Stored XSS via sld_no_results_found Option

Published Jun 10, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 5.1 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
Simple Link Directory through 9.0.4 interpolates the sld_no_results_found option into a JavaScript string literal without encoding. Because sanitize_text_field leaves quotes intact, a stored payload breaks out of the string and runs script for every page visitor.
