CVE-2026-3551

Custom New User Notification <= 1.2.0 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'User Mail Subject' Setting

4.4 Medium

The Custom New User Notification plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on multiple settings fields including 'User Mail Subject', 'User From Name', 'User From Email', 'Admin Mail Subject', 'Admin From Name', and 'Admin From Email'. The settings are registered via register_setting() without sanitize callbacks, and the values retrieved via get_option() are echoed directly into HTML input value attributes without esc_attr(). This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in the plugin settings page that will execute whenever a user accesses that page. This could be used in multi-site installations where administrators of subsites could target super administrators.
