CVE-2026-39768: WordPress Security & Malware scan by CleanTalk plugin <= 2.189 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability

Q: Who can exploit this vulnerability?

Q: What security impact can successful exploitation have?

The supplied CVSS vector indicates low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, with scope changed. This means the XSS can affect a security authority beyond the vulnerable plugin's own context.
