CVE-2026-9269, 12 Jun 2026
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking WordPress plugin before 5.1.5 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup). CVE record
CVE-2026-2367, 25 Feb 2026
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'ays_block' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. CVE record
CVE-2026-1320, 12 Feb 2026
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'X-Forwarded-For' HTTP header in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. CVE record
CVE-2025-14159, 12 Dec 2025
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.2. This is due to missing nonce validation on the 'ays_sccp_results_export_file' AJAX action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to export sensitive plugin data including email addresses, IP addresses, physical addresses, user IDs, and other user information via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The exported data is stored in a publicly accessible file, allowing attackers to receive the sensitive information even though they are not authenticated. CVE record
CVE-2025-14442, 12 Dec 2025
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to sensitive information exposure due to storage of exported CSV files in a publicly accessible directory with predictable filenames in all versions up to, and including, 4.9.2. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to access sensitive user data including emails, IP addresses, usernames, roles, and location data by directly accessing the exported CSV file. CVE record
CVE-2025-1404, 1 Mar 2025
The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized access of data due to a missing capability check on the ays_sccp_reports_user_search() function in all versions up to, and including, 4.4.7. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve a list of registered user emails. CVE record
CVE-2024-6888, 4 Sep 2024

The Secure Copy Content Protection and Content Locking WordPress plugin before 2.8.2 does not escape the sccp_id parameter of the ays_sccp_results_export_file AJAX action (available to both unauthenticated and authenticated users) before using it in a SQL statement, leading to an SQL injection.
