Content injection in WordPress plugins
Content injection lets an attacker add text, HTML or links to your pages without being able to run scripts. Typical results are spam links, fake notices or phishing text that appears to come from your site.
It is usually rated lower than XSS, but spam content can still get your site flagged by search engines or used in phishing.
What to do: update the plugin, then search your posts and pages for content you did not add.
Worried a plugin bug was used on your site?
The free scan reads the public side of your site and looks for spam pages, hidden redirects, injected scripts and blacklist entries. No login, no install, about a minute.

Where this data comes from
- Vulnerabilities: NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD), checked 2026-11-04. This product uses data from the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.
- Plugin versions, update dates and install counts: the wordpress.org Plugins API.
- These lists cover the 3,948 plugins in our catalogue, not every plugin on wordpress.org. We only list a CVE for a plugin when its references or its advisory name that exact plugin, so a few real issues may be missing. Spot an error? Email Daniel.
