CVE-2026-9066

What is known

The WP Compress WordPress plugin before 7.10.04 does not validate the value of a query parameter that controls the asset CDN host before using it to build the URLs of JavaScript files emitted on the page, leading to Reflected XSS. When a visitor follows a crafted link, the WP Compress WordPress plugin before 7.10.04's loader injects script elements pointing to an attacker-controlled origin, which lets the attacker execute arbitrary JavaScript in the visitor's session on the target site.

Business impact

Successful exploitation of CVE-2026-9066, a medium vulnerability (CVSS 6.1) affecting the affected product, may affect the confidentiality, integrity or availability of the vulnerable environment. The exact impact depends on the installed version, exposed interfaces and deployment configuration.
