CVE-2026-4389
CWE-79Published: March 26, 2026· Updated: Mar 30, 2026
Official Description
The DSGVO snippet for Leaflet Map and its Extensions plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `leafext-cookie-time` and `leafext-delete-cookie` shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 3.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes (`unset`, `before`, `after`). 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.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2026-4389 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
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.
