CVE-2026-2389
Complianz – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent <= 7.4.4.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Content Filter
The Complianz – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 7.4.4.2. This is due to the revert_divs_to_summary function replacing ” HTML entities with literal double-quote characters (") in post content without subsequent sanitization. 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 the injected page. The Classic Editor plugin is required to be installed and activated in order to exploit this vulnerability.
