CVE-2026-53741

MEDIUM

Simple Link Directory through 9.0.4 Stored XSS via sld_no_results_found Option

Title source: cna
STIX 2.1

Description

Simple Link Directory through 9.0.4 interpolates the sld_no_results_found option into a JavaScript string literal without encoding. Because sanitize_text_field leaves quotes intact, a stored payload breaks out of the string and runs script for every page visitor.
