Preliminary research
Comment2XSS: chained comment-formatting transformations in WordPress
AI-collected research leads through 6 October 2026, including bounded month-by-month reviews of selected social and community sources from January through September. Unranked, incomplete, not community-vetted, and subject to change.
A permitted comment attribute newline becomes an HTML-comment placeholder. A quote-unaware wpautop rewrite inserts markup inside it; subsequent texturization changes quoting and turns safe text into an event handler. The report covers rendering prerequisites, moderation routes and conditional administrator-session plugin-upload escalation.
