Summary
Cross-site scripting in Blog Floating Button (WordPress plugin) (CVE-2026-15383). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Exploitable via User-Agent header.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The Blog Floating Button WordPress plugin through 1.4.20 does not sanitize or escape the visitor User-Agent header, which it stores through an unauthenticated tracking REST endpoint and later renders unescaped in an administrator report page. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to store a malicious script that executes in the session of any administrator who views the access report, leading to site takeover.
