CVE-2026-22192

wpDiscuz before 7.6.47 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to inject malicious JavaScript by importing a crafted options file with unescaped customCss field values. Attackers can supply a malicious JSON import file containing script payloads in the customCss parameter that execute on every page when rendered through the options handler without proper sanitization.
