Companion Auto Update <= 3.9.2 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via update_delay_days parameter

cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Jul 14, 2025
The Companion Auto Update plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘update_delay_days’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
