CVE-2026-12731: weDevs weDocs Stored XSS in Sidebar Block Attributes

CVE-2026-12731 · Severity: medium · CVSS 6.4 · Published 2026-07-03

The weDocs plugin for WordPress, which is used to create documentation and knowledge bases, contains a security flaw that allows users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious scripts into pages.

Technical details

The weDocs WordPress plugin is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'sectionTitleTag' and 'articleTitleTag' block attributes within the Sidebar component. An authenticated attacker with at least contributor-level permissions can exploit this by injecting malicious JavaScript into these attributes. Because the plugin fails to properly neutralize this input before it is rendered on the page, the script executes in the context of any user who views the affected documentation page. This vulnerability is present in all versions up to and including 2.3.0. A patch has been released in subsequent versions to address the sanitization failure.
