Tabs & Accordions (tabsaccordions) 3.0.0 to below 3.1.0 - Authenticated Stored XSS via Crafted data-rlta-alias Attributes

Regular Labs Tabs & Accordions 3.0.0 through 3.0.5 is affected by CVE-2026-85191, fixed in 3.1.0 (released 13 September 2026). Crafted data-rlta-alias attributes were not sanitised, so JavaScript ran when a matching link was clicked. Exploitation requires the ability to author or edit content containing a Tabs & Accordions link, so this is an authenticated stored XSS that fires on visitor interaction rather than on page load. Update to 3.1.0 or later. The CVE record was published on 14 September 2026 with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.5 (High), vector CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:H/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/S:N/AU:N.
