CVE-2026-22183

A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability exists within the inline comment preview functionality of wpDiscuz, a plugin that allows authenticated users to submit comments with unescaped content. This flaw enables attackers with unfiltered_html capabilities to inject JavaScript directly through comment content, which is then rendered in an AJAX response from class.WpdiscuzHelperAjax.php without proper HTML sanitization.
