CVE-2026-4120 — Info Cards <= 2.0.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Block Attributes
The Info Cards – Add Text and Media in Card Layouts plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'btnUrl' parameter within the Info Cards block in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.7.
