CVE-2026-118169
MediumCVSS 4.9Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk9th percentile - higher than 9% of all known CVEs
Summary
The Hustle – Email Marketing, Lead Generation, Optins, Popups plugin for WordPress in all versions up to and including 7.8.14.3 is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting via the 'content[cta_label]' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. An authenticated attacker with custom-level access can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when a user accesses an injected page; by default only Administrators hold the hustle_edit_module capability, but the plugin's Permissions screen allows delegating it to lower roles including Subscriber.
Risk Assessment
An attacker can execute malicious scripts in users' browsers, hijacking sessions or performing actions on their behalf. The risk increases on sites where plugin capabilities have been delegated to low-privilege roles.
Recommendation
Update the Hustle plugin to a version later than 7.8.14.3 or disable it, then restrict delegation of the hustle_edit_module capability to trusted roles.

Original NVD description (English source)
The Hustle – Email Marketing, Lead Generation, Optins, Popups plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'content[cta_label]' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.14.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with custom-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. By default only Administrators hold the hustle_edit_module capability, but the plugin's built-in Permissions screen allows administrators to delegate this capability to lower roles including Subscriber, enabling Subscriber-level exploitation on sites where that delegation has been configured.
