CVE-2026-93756: Smash Balloon Social Post Feed stored XSS via Facebook comments

CVE-2026-93756 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.2 · Published 2026-10-02

The Smash Balloon Social Post Feed WordPress plugin displays Facebook comments in an admin builder preview page without properly sanitizing user-supplied content. An attacker with a Facebook account can inject malicious scripts into comments on a connected Facebook page; when a WordPress administrator visits the builder preview, the injected script executes with the administrator's privileges. This could allow the attacker to install malicious plugins, leading to server compromise and data theft.

Technical details

The plugin fails to sanitize Facebook comment content before rendering it via v-html in the admin preview component, and uses v-show rather than v-if, causing injected HTML and event handlers to be evaluated in the DOM even when hidden. An unauthenticated attacker with a Facebook account can post a malicious comment; when an administrator previews the feed, arbitrary JavaScript executes in their session. Combined with a missing URL validation flaw in the cff_install_addon AJAX handler, an injected script can trigger arbitrary plugin installation from attacker-controlled servers, resulting in remote code execution.
