What is CVE-2026-85678?

This flaw allows users with contributor level access and higher to submit unsanitized custom JavaScript code. When this code is executed within a script tag on the front end, it affects any user viewing the post, including editors or administrators. Consequently, this could lead to the execution of malicious scripts in the browsers of these users, potentially compromising site security.

Affected Version(s)

AI Builder 2.4.1 < 2.7.8
