CVE-2026-120514dylanjkotze Zephyr Project Manager cross-site scripting

What it is

Input is written into a web page without escaping, so an attacker's script runs in the browser of anyone who views it.

How it is reached

An attacker can exploit it over the network, with an ordinary user account, but someone has to act first, such as opening a file or following a link.

What an attacker gains

The direct impact is limited: partial access to data or a partial outage. In practice, this kind of flaw lets an attacker act inside a signed-in user's browser session. The damage can spread past the vulnerable component into others.

Is it being exploited?

There is no public report of exploitation yet.

What to do

1. No fixed version is listed yet. Find every place dylanjkotze Zephyr Project Manager runs, watch the references for a fix, and plan a replacement if it is no longer supported.
2. While there is no fix, review who holds accounts that can reach it.
3. Warn the people who use it, and filter files and links on the way in.

Description from NVD

The Zephyr Project Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'zpm_profile_picture' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.209 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected payload is stored in the subscriber's own Zephyr profile and fires in any Administrator's browser session the first time the autocomplete mention lookup renders the avatar field, requiring no additional configuration beyond the plugin's default access_roles setting. Successful exploitation additionally requires an action by an administrator — the attacker cannot trigger the vulnerability on their own.
