Cross-site scripting (XSS) in Real3D Flipbook (5.5 and older)

Affected: 5.5 and older
Fixed in: 5.7 *

medium 6.8 CVE-2026-86842 · published 2026-09-23

Missing authorization check in Real3D Flipbook (older than 5.4)

Affected: older than 5.4
Fixed in: 5.4
Access needed (per CVSS): Needs an admin-level account; someone on the site has to click a link or open a page
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by CISA ADP

Details from the advisory

The Real3D Flipbook WordPress plugin before 5.4 does not perform capability checks on several of its authenticated flipbook management actions, allowing users with Author-level access and above to delete other users' flipbook content and overwrite administrator-only global settings, which can be leveraged to store JavaScript that executes in the context of any visitor or administrator viewing the site.

medium 6.8 CVE-2025-15696 · published 2026-09-23

Cross-site scripting (XSS) in Real3D Flipbook (older than 5.4)

Fixed in: 5.4
Access needed (per CVSS): Needs an admin-level account; someone on the site has to click a link or open a page
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by CISA ADP

Details from the advisory

The Real3D Flipbook WordPress plugin before 5.4 does not sanitize or escape several flipbook editor fields before rendering them back in the admin editor, allowing users with the Author role and above to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the browser of any user who later opens the affected flipbook for editing, including administrators.

NVD CVE-2025-15696 WPScan advisory

medium 6.4 CVE-2026-15098 · published 2026-09-19

Stored cross-site scripting (XSS) in Real3D Flipbook (5.1.1 and older)

Affected: 5.1.1 and older
Fixed in: 5.1.2 *
Access needed (per CVSS): Needs a low-level account (e.g. subscriber)
Range from: CVE record (the advisory publisher) · score by Wordfence

Details from the advisory

The Real3D Flipbook Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'lightboxtext' shortcode attribute (and other unsanitized attributes handled by on_shortcode()) in versions up to, and including, 5.1.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the on_shortcode() and print_global_options() functions: shortcode attribute values are copied verbatim into $this->flipbook_options and then emitted via wp_json_encode() inside a <script type="application/json"> block without the JSON_HEX_TAG flag, allowing a literal </script> byte sequence in the attribute value to break out of the JSON script context. Because WordPress's shortcode_parse_atts() applies stripcslashes() to attribute values, an attacker can encode the breakout tag as \x3c/script\x3e\x3cscript\x3e…\x3c/script\x3e, which survives the wp_kses_post save-time filter applied to Contributor content (the escape bytes are safe text characters, not HTML tags) and is decoded to real angle brackets at render time. 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 (typically an Editor or Administrator previewing/moderating the pending post) accesses an injected page.
