CVE-2026-6972 medium

📛 Threat Title

SKT Skill Bar <= 2.6 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Category: wordpress-vulnerability Published: Source updated: First seen: Last updated: Source: Wordfence

Description

The SKT Skill Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `chart_size` attribute of the `skillwrapper` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.6. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the `chart_size` attribute, which is concatenated directly into an inline `<style>` block. 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. Affected software — plugin: SKT Skill Bar (affected: *-2.6). CVSS 6.4 (Medium) — CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N.
