CVE-2026-2382
No known patch is available for this vulnerability.
The affected plugin has been removed from the WordPress.org directory, and no patched version is being distributed through the official directory. If you have the affected software installed, you should uninstall or replace it rather than wait for an update.
Description
The FPW Category Thumbnails plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'id' parameter of the 'fpw_fs_get_file' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.5. This is 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 an administrator accesses the plugin's settings page.
