CVE-2026-3885

The Shortcodes Ultimate plugin for WordPress contains a security flaw that allows malicious users with contributor-level permissions or higher to insert rogue code into website content through the 'su_box' shortcode. This vulnerability arises from inadequate filtering of user-submitted data and insufficient protection against script injection. As a result, attackers can embed arbitrary scripts in pages that will run when viewed by other users.
