Summary
The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the bulk edit preset export/import mechanism in versions up to and including 3.35. Due to insufficient output escaping on preset field values in HTML attribute contexts, an authenticated attacker with Author-level access and above can inject malicious scripts that execute when an administrator imports the poisoned preset and the targeted input field receives focus.
Risk Assessment
An attacker with an Author account can inject scripts into the site that execute in an administrator's browser, potentially enabling session hijacking or actions with administrator privileges.
Recommendation
Update the Media Library Assistant plugin to a version newer than 3.35 and limit the number of accounts with Author-level or higher privileges.

- CVE-2026-103875Medium
The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'search-string' parameter in all versions up to and including 3.42 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. Unauthenticated attackers can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute if they can trick a user into performing an action such as clicking a link. Exploitation requires a publicly accessible page with an [mla_gallery] shortcode configured with pagination output mode and an mla_link_href template reflecting a {+request:...+} token, along with enough attachments to trigger pagination.

- CVE-2026-97294Medium
Stored XSS vulnerability in the Media Library Assistant plugin by David Lingren. Improper input neutralization during page generation allows persistent execution of malicious scripts in the victim's browser.
Original NVD description (English source)
The Media Library Assistant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the bulk edit preset export/import mechanism in versions up to and including 3.35. This is due to insufficient output escaping on preset field values when they are rendered in HTML attribute contexts in the mla_generate_bulk_edit_form_fieldsets() function and mla-bulk-edit-fieldsets.tpl template. While wp_kses() filtering is applied during preset export for users without unfiltered_html capability, this does not prevent attribute injection attacks since the malicious payload consists of quotes and HTML attributes rather than HTML tags. When preset values are retrieved and rendered, they are directly assigned to template variables without esc_attr() escaping and then inserted into input element value attributes via simple string replacement. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-level access and above (upload_files capability), to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an administrator imports the poisoned preset and the targeted input field receives focus.
