Qode Wishlist For Woocommerce - Security Vulnerability (CVE-2026-121516)
CVE-2026-121516
The QODE Wishlist for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'qode_wishlist_for_woocommerce_guests_items' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.9 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. This is exploitable by guests because the required wp_rest nonce is publicly emitted to unauthenticated visitors on the /wishlist/ page, and the attacker controls the transient key, meaning the payload is stored site-wide and only requires a victim to open a crafted share URL and click the injected title link. Successful exploitation additionally requires an action by an administrator — the attacker cannot trigger the vulnerability on their own.

Potential Impact
Severity is MEDIUM (CVSS 6.1). Depending on deployment context, affected components may be exposed to unauthorized actions or data integrity risk.
Exploitability Assessment
Exploitability is assessed as High based on remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites.
Primary risk drivers: remote code execution potential, low-bar exploit prerequisites
Mitigation Recommendations
Validate affected product versions, prioritize patching, and monitor references for vendor remediation guidance. If immediate patching is not possible, apply compensating controls and limit exposure of vulnerable surfaces.
Detection & Monitoring
Track authentication anomalies, unexpected file writes, and suspicious plugin API activity around affected components.
Business Impact Lens
AI risk score 67/100 (Elevated, High) with priority P3 Priority. Prioritize remediation where affected components process customer data, admin sessions, or Internet-exposed workflows.
