WP ULike <= 5.0.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attribute
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 6.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Mar 10, 2026
The WP ULike plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `[wp_ulike_likers_box]` shortcode `template` attribute in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.1. This is due to the use of `html_entity_decode()` on shortcode attributes without subsequent output sanitization, which effectively bypasses WordPress's `wp_kses_post()` content filtering. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The post must have at least one like for the XSS to render.
WP ULike <= 4.8.3.1 - Insecure Direct Object Reference to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary Log Deletion via 'id' Parameter
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 5.3
cwe CWE-639: Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key
published Feb 2, 2026
The WP ULike plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.3.1. This is due to the `wp_ulike_delete_history_api` AJAX action not verifying that the log entry being deleted belongs to the current user. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above (granted the 'stats' capability is assigned to their role), to delete arbitrary log entries belonging to other users via the 'id' parameter.
WP ULike <= 4.7.9.1 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Content Spoofing
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 5.3
cwe CWE-862: Missing Authorization
published Apr 4, 2025
The WP ULike – All-in-One Engagement Toolkit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to content spoofing due to a missing capability check on a function in all versions up to, and including, 4.7.9.1. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to spoof content.
WP ULike <= 4.7.6 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting
medium ✓ patched
cvss score 4.4
cwe CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
published Jan 14, 2025
The WP ULike plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 4.7.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only impacts multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
