CVE-2026-118057
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-832v-j8jj-hrq5 ↗EUVD-2026-114648 ↗
description
Shield Security for WordPress versions through 22.3.2 can retain untrusted request-path data and render it unsafely. An unauthenticated remote attacker may cause script to execute in a visitor's browser when that person later opens a page displaying the affected stored data. The site must accept the attacker's request, and a user must subsequently view the recorded entry.
mitigation
Update to a vendor-confirmed release that remediates versions through 22.3.2. Until then, restrict access to WordPress pages that display recorded request paths and limit untrusted requests reaching the site.
outcome
Upstream: a detection for this already ships elsewhere, so we didn't generate a new one. The credit goes to whoever did.
