What is known

The reCaptcha by WebDesignBy WordPress plugin before 2.0 does not sanitize or escape the Site Key setting before outputting it in a JavaScript string context via the grecaptcha_js() function. This allows administrators on multisite installations (who do not have the unfiltered_html capability) to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes for all visitors to the WordPress login page.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-4512, a low vulnerability (CVSS 3.5) 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.

Recommended administrator action

Confirm whether the affected product is present and compare installed versions with the vendor advisory and NVD record. Apply the vendor patch or documented mitigation; until remediation is complete, reduce exposure of affected interfaces, review relevant logs and monitor for indicators of exploitation. DataHouse can support version verification, managed patching, network exposure reduction, log review and backup validation for dedicated, cloud and colocated environments.
