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-2026-9833 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Tag Groups is the Advanced Way to Display Your Taxonomy Terms. 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-2026-9833/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9833/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-9833","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9833/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-9833","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mcx6-9qf4-cx6p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of logged-in editors via a crafted link, potentially leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Tag Groups is the Advanced Way to Display Your Taxonomy Terms WordPress plugin before 2.2.0 does not properly escape one of its AJAX parameters before reflecting it in the response body served with an HTML content type, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of a logged-in user with `edit_pages` capability (Editor or higher) who is tricked into following a crafted link.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-08-01","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2026-08-01T19:28:24Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/aj2108/CVE-2026-9833","stars":0,"title":null},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2026/CVE-2026-9833.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Tag Groups \u003c 2.2.0 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Tag Groups \u003c 2.2.0 - Reflected XSS via 'tag_groups_task' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-9833","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WP Database Backup \u003c= 7.11 - Authenticated (Administrator+) OS Command Injection via 'wp_db_exclude_table' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-9834"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Payment Gateway of Stripe for WooCommerce","id":"CVE-2026-9832"},"products":["Tag Groups is the Advanced Way to Display Your Taxonomy Terms"],"published":"2026-07-20","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"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-20","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the browser of logged-in editors via a crafted link, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-9833/"}
