CVE-2026-9104

What it is

The Draft List plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Draft Post Title in all versions up to, and including, 2.6.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The unescaped injection path is triggered specifically when the viewing user lacks edit capabilities, meaning payloads embedded in draft post titles via attribute-breakout techniques execute for unauthenticated users and subscribers.
