CVE-2026-7640

WP Customer Area <= 8.3.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'type' Shortcode Attribute

Published Jul 14, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 6.4 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The WP Customer Area plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'type' attribute of the `customer-area-protected-content` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 8.3.5. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the shortcode attribute. 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.
