CVE-2026-9269
LOW 3.5 PoC AVAILABLEThe Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking WordPress plugin before 5.1.5 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
Public exploit or PoC code exists. Modeled probability is still low, but the barrier to attack is reduced — watch closely.
