The BetterDocs WordPress plugin before 4.5.5 does not sanitise an AI-generated documentation summary before storing and outputting it, and the feature that generates it is exposed to unauthenticated users, allowing them to store a malicious payload via prompt injection that executes in the browser of any visitor who views the affected page, including administrators.
Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).
| Vendor | Product | Default status | Versions | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unknown | BetterDocs | unaffected |
