Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2026-1047 affects the WordPress salavat counter Plugin through version 0.9.5. An already-authenticated administrator can save malicious script content in the image_url setting. That script may run later when someone views the affected page. The business risk is limited by the need for administrator access, but it can still affect site trust and user sessions.
Executive priority
Treat as a targeted WordPress hygiene issue, not a broad emergency. Prioritize sites where the plugin is installed and administrator accounts are shared, weakly protected, or externally managed. Act promptly if the plugin is present on public or business-critical sites.
Technical view
This is stored cross-site scripting in the salavat counter Plugin for WordPress, caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the image_url parameter. Sources list affected versions up to and including 0.9.5. CVSS 3.1 is 4.4, vector AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, CWE-79.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites that have salavat counter Plugin installed at version 0.9.5 or earlier. Exploitation requires administrator-level privileges or higher, so compromised admin accounts or untrusted administrators are the main concern.
Exploitation context
No source provided indicates active exploitation, and this CVE is not listed as KEV in the supplied data. The flaw is post-authentication and high-privilege, but stored XSS can persist and execute for later visitors to the affected page.
Researcher notes
The supplied references identify wp-table-options.php around line 352 as relevant. Evidence supports authenticated administrator-plus stored XSS via image_url. The source bundle does not name a fixed version or confirm exploit activity, so remediation should track vendor and WordPress plugin guidance.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for salavat counter Plugin installations.
- Identify whether installed versions are 0.9.5 or earlier.
- Check WordPress.org, Wordfence, and vendor guidance for fixed versions or advisories.
- Disable or remove the plugin if it is unnecessary.
- Limit administrator access to trusted accounts only.
- Review admin accounts for compromise or unexpected privilege changes.
Validation and detection
- Confirm plugin presence and installed version on each WordPress site.
- Review plugin settings involving image_url for unexpected script content.
- Check recent administrator activity for suspicious configuration changes.
- After remediation, verify the vulnerable plugin version is no longer deployed.
- Monitor Wordfence and WordPress plugin pages for updated remediation guidance.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
