This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'event' shortcode attribute. The customEventShortCodeButton() function takes the 'event' attribute value and directly interpolates it into a JavaScript string within an onclick HTML attribute without applying esc_attr() or esc_js(). Notably, the sister function customEventShortCode() properly uses esc_js() for the same attribute, but this was omitted in the button variant. 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 the page and clicks the injected button.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":6.4,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","level":"medium","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-10","score":0.00235,"percentile":0.1455,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-79"],"published":"2026-04-22T07:45:29Z","modified":"2026-06-17T10:56:21Z","products":[{"vendor":"breadbutter","product":"bread \u0026 butter: ai-powered lead intelligence"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/0728b42b-5ec7-46a2-a9a5-3316107e9324?source=cve"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bread-butter/trunk/src/Base/Shortcode.php#L380"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bread-butter/tags/8.2.0.25/src/Base/Shortcode.php#L380"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bread-butter/trunk/src/Base/Shortcode.php#L364"},{"url":"https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/bread-butter/tags/8.2.0.25/src/Base/Shortcode.php#L364"},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-4279"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-g8vq-gpv7-9mmq"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2026-4279","title":"Bread \u0026 Butter: Content Gating for Verified Leads \u003c= 8.2.0.25 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode Attributes","description":"The Bread \u0026 Butter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'breadbutter-customevent-button' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 8.2.0.25.
