CVE-2026-15253: Easy Media Replace <= 0.2.0 - Author+ Stored XSS via Attachment Title
The Easy Media Replace WordPress plugin through 0.2.0 does not sanitise and escape an attachment title before outputting it in an HTML attribute in the media library list view, allowing users with the Author role and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that are executed in the browser of a higher privileged user who views the media library.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can exploit this issue, and who is at risk from the payload?
A user with the WordPress Author role or higher can inject the malicious attachment title. The script executes when a higher-privileged user views the media library list view.
What action triggers the stored script?
The vulnerable plugin outputs an attachment title in an HTML attribute in the media library list view without sanitising and escaping it. A higher-privileged user must view that media library page for the injected script to execute.
How can administrators identify potentially affected content?
Review attachment titles created or modified by Author-level and higher users, particularly titles containing HTML or script-like content. The relevant exposure is in the media library list view.
