What is known

The Product Addons and Product Options With Custom Fields WordPress plugin before 1.6.15 does not restrict an unauthenticated file-upload endpoint and accepts SVG files that are stored and served inline, allowing an unauthenticated attacker to upload a malicious SVG whose embedded script executes in the session of any user (such as an administrator) who later opens the file.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-12968, a high vulnerability (CVSS 8.8) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
