Low risk15th percentile - higher than 15% of all known CVEs
Summary
The WP to LinkedIn Auto Publish plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the PostMessage parameter in all versions up to and including 1.9.8. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. It allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute if they can trick a user into performing an action such as clicking a link.
Risk Assessment
The risk involves the execution of malicious scripts in the victim's browser, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or distribution of malicious content. The attack requires user interaction but can be performed by an unauthenticated attacker.
Recommendation
It is recommended to immediately update the plugin to the latest version that includes security fixes. Additionally, apply the principle of least privilege and regularly monitor logs for suspicious activity.

- CVE-2026-7826Critical
A vulnerability in FalkorDB before 4.18.4 causes a heap-based out-of-bounds read in the BufferSerializerIOv2_ReadBuffer function. A remote attacker who can issue Redis replication commands (e.g., against an instance with no password) can send a crafted RDB stream with a sub-buffer length field exceeding the remaining buffer size. The only bounds check is an ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, so memcpy() reads past the end of the heap allocation.
- CVE-2026-5759Critical
A double free and use-after-free vulnerability in the RdbLoadDeletedNodes function of the RDB graph decoders in FalkorDB before 4.18.1. A remote attacker who can issue Redis replication commands can send a crafted RDB stream where the deleted-nodes buffer length is not a multiple of sizeof(NodeID). The length check relies on ASSERT(), which is compiled out in release builds, so the function continues after freeing the buffer, reading it and freeing it a second time.

Original NVD description (English source)
The WP to LinkedIn Auto Publish plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via PostMessage in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
