CVE-2026-2374
The Login No Captcha reCAPTCHA plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']` superglobal in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.0. This is due to the `authenticate()` function storing the unsanitized output of `basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])` in the `login_nocaptcha_error` WordPress option when a login attempt is made from a non-standard login page (e.g., xmlrpc.php). The `admin_notices()` function then echoes this stored value directly into
