CVE-2026-3896: Livemesh SiteOrigin Widgets <= 3.9.2 - Missing Authorization to Authenticated (Subscriber+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

• Severity: medium (CVSS 6.4 v3.1)
• Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
• EPSS: 0.2% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
• Public exploit or detection template: none known
• Published: 2026-05-27 · updated 2026-06-17
• Weakness: CWE-862

Description

The Livemesh SiteOrigin Widgets plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `lsow_admin_ajax` AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 3.9.2 due to missing authorization checks and insufficient input sanitization. The AJAX handler verifies a nonce but does not check user capabilities. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with Subscriber-level access and above to modify plugin settings and inject malicious scripts that execute when administrators access the plugin settings page or when any user visits the frontend.

Affected products

• Livemesh SiteOrigin Widgets: through 3.9.2
