## Summary

The FeedWordPress plugin for WordPress, in versions up to and including 2026.0517, is affected. An unauthenticated attacker who controls a feed a site subscribes to can inject malicious scripts into imported posts, which then run in the browsers of visitors who open those pages, potentially allowing session hijacking or actions taken on behalf of users.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Affected

- radgeek FeedWordPress: through 2026.0517

## Description

The FeedWordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 2026.0517 via syndicated RSS/Atom feed content. The plugin's SyndicatedPost::sanitize_content() function only strips the 'target' attribute (the lines that would strip 'style' and 'on[a-z]+' event-handler attributes are commented out), and SyndicatedPost::insert_post() deliberately removes WordPress's wp_filter_kses and wp_filter_post_kses filters from content_save_pre before persisting imported feed items via wp_insert_post(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers who control an external feed that a site has already subscribed to to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
