Anti Spam By Cleantalk Spam Protection
Monthly
Stored cross-site scripting in the Anti-Spam by CleanTalk Spam Protection WordPress plugin before 6.79 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary JavaScript into approved comments via a custom shortcode in the email-encoding feature, with execution occurring when any visitor or administrator views the affected post. Publicly available exploit code exists per WPScan, increasing exposure for the plugin's large WordPress installation base, though it requires user interaction (UI:R) to trigger the payload. The high CVSS score of 8.8 reflects the potential for administrator account compromise leading to full site takeover.
