CVE-2026-1256
The YS LeadGen plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass and Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple AJAX endpoints in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.4 due to missing capability checks on popup management actions. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to create arbitrary popups and inject malicious JavaScript that executes when the popup is displayed, leading to Stored XSS.
What this means for your business
- An attacker can use it remotely, over a network, with an ordinary user login, and without anyone at your company clicking anything.
- FIRST's prediction model gives it a 0.2% chance of attack attempts being seen in the next 30 days, ranking above 10% of all known flaws.
What to do
- 1Ask your IT team or provider whether any of your systems use the affected product.
- 2If you do, follow the vendor's guidance. No patch reference has been published yet.
