CVE-2026-95817: DoFollow Case by Case <= 3.6.0 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content
The DoFollow Case by Case plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Comment Content in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Comment moderation delays but does not prevent exploitation — once an administrator approves the visually innocuous comment, the stored payload executes in the browser of every subsequent visitor to the affected post.

Event History
Frequently Asked Questions
Who can exploit this issue?
An unauthenticated attacker can submit a crafted comment containing script content. Exploitation becomes active after an administrator approves the comment, at which point the payload runs for users who visit the affected post.
Does comment moderation protect against exploitation?
No. Moderation can delay exploitation by preventing an unapproved comment from being displayed, but it does not remove the risk if a visually innocuous malicious comment is approved.
What is the impact after a malicious comment is approved?
Arbitrary web scripts can execute in the browsers of subsequent visitors to the affected post. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity, and the scope extends beyond the vulnerable plugin.
Which versions are affected?
All versions of DoFollow Case by Case through and including 3.6.0 are affected.
