Published: Wed Feb 18 2026 (02/18/2026, 07:25:40 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: yaycommerce
Product: YayMail – WooCommerce Email Customizer

Description

The YayMail – WooCommerce Email Customizer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via settings in all versions up to, and including, 4.3.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Shop Manager-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Technical Analysis

The YayMail – WooCommerce Email Customizer plugin for WordPress contains a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This allows authenticated users with elevated privileges (Shop Manager or above) to inject arbitrary scripts via plugin settings. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.3.2 and is limited to multi-site setups or installations with unfiltered_html disabled. Exploitation requires high privileges and no user interaction, with partial impact on confidentiality and integrity but no availability impact.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an attacker with Shop Manager or higher privileges to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other client-side attacks. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no direct availability impact. The vulnerability is constrained to multi-site or restricted unfiltered_html environments and requires authenticated access with elevated permissions.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently documented for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, limit Shop Manager and higher permissions to trusted users only, and consider disabling or restricting use of the YayMail plugin in multi-site or unfiltered_html-disabled environments. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply official patches once released.
