CVE-2026-4069
CWE-79Published: March 21, 2026· Updated: Mar 23, 2026
Official Description
The Alfie – Feed Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'naam' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.1. This is due to missing nonce validation on the alfie_option_page() function combined with insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts that will be stored in the plugin's database and execute whenever a user accesses the page displaying the injected data, granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-4069 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation does not require any privileges, though user interaction (Required) is needed, which slightly reduces the risk of mass automated attacks.
The vulnerability has a "Changed" scope, meaning successful exploitation can impact components beyond the vulnerable component itself — such as the host operating system or adjacent services.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-79): Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities allow attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
