CVE-2026-116522
validatedZero produced an exploit or a check.GHSA-cqrq-24rf-5fg8 ↗EUVD-2026-114599 ↗
description
Relevanssi for WordPress versions through 4.28.5 can retain attacker-supplied script content that may run in a visitor's browser. Exposure requires both comment indexing and comment highlighting to be enabled, and a visitor must open an affected singular page through a highlighted search-result link.
mitigation
Disable comment indexing or comment highlighting to reduce exposure immediately. Update to a vendor release that addresses the issue when one is identified; the evidence does not name a fixed version.
outcome
Upstream: a detection for this already ships elsewhere, so we didn't generate a new one. The credit goes to whoever did.
