CVE-2026-1805: DA Media GigList <= 1.9.0 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'list_title' Shortcode Attribute

The DA Media GigList plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's damedia_giglist shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2026-1805 affects the DA Media GigList WordPress plugin up to version 1.9.0. A logged-in user with Contributor-level access or higher could store malicious script through a shortcode attribute. That script could run when someone views the affected page, creating risk to site users and administrators.

Executive priority

Treat as a routine but timely WordPress application security issue. Prioritize sites with many content contributors, public-facing traffic, or administrator review workflows. It is not currently supported as actively exploited by the supplied sources.

Technical view

The issue is stored cross-site scripting in the damedia_giglist shortcode, specifically user-controlled attributes such as list_title. The CVE cites insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. CVSS is 6.4, with low privileges required, network access, changed scope, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to WordPress sites running DA Media GigList version 1.9.0 or earlier where Contributor-level or higher accounts can create or edit shortcode content.

Exploitation context

No provided source indicates active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV. Exploitation requires authenticated access, but stored XSS can affect later visitors, including privileged administrators, if they view injected content.

Researcher notes

The CVE description states all versions up to and including 1.9.0 are affected. The affected-product metadata appears sparse, so validate against the plugin version and source references. No patch version is identified in the provided bundle.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory WordPress sites for DA Media GigList version 1.9.0 or earlier.
  • Check vendor, WordPress plugin, CVE, and Wordfence guidance for a fixed release.
  • Update if a vendor-supported fixed version is available.
  • Restrict Contributor and higher access to trusted users only.
  • Review or remove untrusted damedia_giglist shortcode content.
  • Disable the plugin if it is not business-critical and no fix is available.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm installed DA Media GigList versions across WordPress environments.
  • Review posts and pages containing damedia_giglist shortcodes.
  • Inspect list_title shortcode attributes for unexpected script-like content.
  • Verify Contributor-level users cannot add unsafe shortcode attributes after remediation.
  • Monitor Wordfence, CVE, and plugin repository references for updated remediation details.
