CVE-2026-89047: Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons <= 3.0.1 - Reflected DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via URL
The Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via URL in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Exploitation requires the victim to be on a mobile user-agent and to click the WeChat share icon, though once the dialog opens, script execution is automatic and requires no further user interaction.

Who is exposed to exploitation?
Sites using the affected plugin are exposed when a victim accesses an attacker-crafted URL on a mobile user-agent and clicks the WeChat share icon. The attacker does not need authentication, but exploitation depends on victim interaction with that icon.
What happens after the victim clicks the WeChat share icon?
Once the share dialog opens, the injected script executes automatically. No additional interaction is required after opening the dialog.
