Jquery news ticker <= 3.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode

Published Dec 19, 2023 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Jquery news ticker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'jquery-news-ticker' shortcode in versions up to, and including, 3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
