CVE-2026-5341
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe NMR Strava activities plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's `strava_nmr_connect` shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.14 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.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe NMR Strava activities WordPress plugin fails to sanitize input and escape output in the strava_nmr_connect shortcode attributes, allowing authenticated contributors and above to inject persistent JavaScript payloads that execute when users view affected pages.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify the NMR Strava activities plugin is installedIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'NMR Strava activities' or check the plugin files in wp-content/plugins/ for a folder containing 'strava' in the nameAffected if the plugin is installed and active
-
Determine the installed plugin versionIn WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Installed Plugins, find 'NMR Strava activities', and view the version number displayed under the plugin name; alternatively, check the plugin's main PHP file for the 'Version' header in the plugin comment blockAffected if the version is lower than 1.0.15 or if the version cannot be determined (unpatched versions)
-
Identify usage of the vulnerable shortcodeSearch your WordPress database for posts, pages, or widgets containing the shortcode [strava_nmr_connect] using tools like phpMyAdmin or WP-CLI: wpdb get var "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM wp_posts WHERE post_content LIKE '%[strava_nmr_connect%'"Affected if the shortcode is present in any published content and the plugin version is unpatched
-
Check for suspicious script injections in shortcode attributesExamine any posts/pages containing the [strava_nmr_connect] shortcode and inspect the attribute values for unexpected characters like quotes, script tags, or javascript: protocol handlers that may indicate exploitationAffected if any shortcode attributes contain encoded or raw JavaScript, event handlers, or suspicious payloads
You are affected if the NMR Strava activities plugin is installed with a version before 1.0.15 AND the strava_nmr_connect shortcode is used in any content, as the combination of unpatched plugin and active shortcode enables authenticated attackers to inject persistent JavaScript.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the plugin to version 1.0.15 or later which includes proper input sanitization and output escaping; alternatively, disable the strava_nmr_connect shortcode until a patch is applied.
Update to version 1.0.15 or later
- Navigate to the WordPress admin dashboard
- Go to Plugins > Installed Plugins
- Locate the NMR Strava activities plugin
- Check if an update is available and update to the latest version (after 1.0.14)
- Alternatively, navigate to Dashboard > Updates and update the plugin there
