Once the site's Freemius opt-in is complete (the normal state after an administrator clicks \"Allow & Continue\"), the handler processes the 'purchased_plan' request parameter on any wp-admin request from an authenticated user without any capability, nonce, or purchase validation, and stores it in a persistent, site-wide administrative notice. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute automatically when an administrator views a standard admin page such as their Profile page.","score":6.4,"severity":"medium","published":"2026-10-29T05:30:31.921Z","modified":"2026-10-29T10:45:42.261Z","withdrawn":false,"knownExploited":false,"affected":[],"products":[{"vendor":"saadiqbal","name":"Password Protected – Protect Your Site Content With a Password","platforms":[],"versions":[{"version":"0","status":"affected","lessThanOrEqual":"2.8.4","versionType":"semver"}],"defaultStatus":"unaffected","cpes":[],"source":"Wordfence","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-93293"}],"remediation":[],"references":["https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/0c0fe97a-a9e4-46e0-bb53-135c2d9a69a4?source=cve","https://ti.wordfence.io/vendors/patch/3925/download","https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&new=3766681%40password-protected%2Ftags%2F2.8.5&old=3627972%40password-protected%2Ftags%2F2.8.4"],"sources":[{"name":"CVE","id":"CVE-2026-93293","modified":"2026-10-29T10:45:42.261Z","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-93293"}],"assessments":[{"source":"Wordfence","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","score":6.4}],"sourceAffected":[],"observedAt":"2026-10-29T14:48:53.149Z","kev":{"status":"not-listed","checkedAt":"2026-11-14T23:35:33.875Z"},"coverage":[{"source":"NVD","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:32.152Z","attemptedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:32.152Z"},{"source":"GHSA","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:32.636Z","attemptedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:32.636Z"},{"source":"EUVD","status":"available","checkedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:33.196Z","attemptedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:33.196Z"},{"source":"EPSS","status":"no-result","checkedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:32.501Z","attemptedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:32.501Z"}],"evidence":[{"source":"ENISA EUVD","id":"EUVD-2026-112604","url":"https://euvd.enisa.europa.eu/vulnerability/EUVD-2026-112604","modified":"Oct 29, 2026, 5:30:31 AM","score":6.4,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","checkedAt":"2026-10-29T06:05:33.196Z"}],"aiSummary":{"text":"The Password Protected WordPress plugin, versions up to 2.8.4, has a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability due to insufficient input sanitization.
