# Secure Custom Fields WordPress plugin: stored script injection via field definitions

Link for people: https://infrastack.ai/live/CVE-2026-97195 (this .md is for agents)

The Secure Custom Fields WordPress plugin before 6.9.8 does not sanitize a saved field definition before printing part of it as an HTML attribute name. A user who can configure fields can store a script that runs in the browser of anyone who views a page showing that field, which on multisite lets a site administrator without unfiltered_html inject script into other users' sessions.

_Summary, check and fix written by a model from the sources; labelled as such._

## How to check

- Check the installed Secure Custom Fields version in the WordPress plugins screen or `wp plugin get secure-custom-fields --field=version`
- On multisite, list which sites have field-definition editing rights for administrators without unfiltered_html

## Fix

- Secure Custom Fields: `6.9.8` or later (per the advisory's 'before 6.9.8')

## Timeline

- 2026-11-08T06:46:22+00:00 nvd https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-97195

## From the sources

The Secure Custom Fields WordPress plugin before 6.9.8 does not sanitize a persisted field definition before emitting part of it as an HTML attribute name, allowing a user able to configure its fields to store a payload that executes as JavaScript in the browser of any user who views a page rendering the affected field, which on multisite lets a site administrator who lacks the unfiltered_html capability inject script into other users' sessions.
