CVE-2026-8089: WordPress weMail < 2.1.3 - Cross-Site Scripting

id: CVE-2026-8089

info:
  name: WordPress weMail < 2.1.3 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: anirbala98
  severity: high
  description: |
    The weMail plugin for WordPress < 2.1.3 is vulnerable to reflected cross-site scripting. The plugin does not properly escape a user-supplied parameter before reflecting it into an HTML attribute on a non-nonce-protected AJAX response.
  impact: |
    Successful exploitation requires logged-in users to click a malicious link, but allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary scripts or change web page contents on authenticated user sessions.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade to weMail version 2.1.3 or later.
