CVE-2026-2502 describes a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the xmlrpc attacks blocker plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to and including 1.0. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts by manipulating the 'X-Forwarded-For' HTTP header, which the plugin logs without proper output escaping. This medium-severity vulnerability (CVSS 6.1) could lead to client-side script execution when an administrator views the debug log page, potentially compromising administrator sessions or leading to further attacks. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
