CVE-2026-7209

Simple Link Directory <= 8.9.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes

Published May 2, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The Simple Link Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's `qcopd-directory` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 8.9.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes such as `title_font_size`. 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.
