An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-16535 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Link Library. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16535/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16535/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-16535","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16535/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-16535","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gqp5-7wwf-v82x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the Link Library plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Link Library WordPress plugin before 7.9.4 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before reflecting it back in a response, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform Reflected Cross-Site Scripting attacks against users who can be tricked into performing an action.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2026/CVE-2026-16535.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Link Library \u003c 7.9.4 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Link Library \u003c 7.9.4 - Reflected XSS via Thumbs-Rating likelabel","id":"CVE-2026-16535","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Simple Google Calendar Outlook Events Widget \u003c 3.1.0 - Unauthenticated SSRF via calendar_id","id":"CVE-2026-16536"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Import and export users and customers \u003c 2.4.2 - Custom Role Privilege Escalation to Administrator via CSV Import","id":"CVE-2026-16534"},"products":["Link Library"],"published":"2026-08-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the Link Library plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-16535/"}
