Last modified
CVE-2026-3090 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.2/10 on the CVSS scale. The Post SMTP – Complete Email Deliverability and SMTP Solution with Email Logs, Alerts, Backup SMTP & Mobile App plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘event_type’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.8.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

EPSS estimates a 0.23% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
