CVE-2026-26861: CleverTap Web SDK is vulnerable to DOM-based XSS via handleCustomHtmlPreviewPostMessageEvent function
(updated )
CleverTap Web SDK version 1.15.2 and earlier is vulnerable to Cross-site Scripting (XSS) via window.postMessage. The handleCustomHtmlPreviewPostMessageEvent function in src/util/campaignRender/nativeDisplay.js performs insufficient origin validation using the includes() method, which can be bypassed by an attacker using a subdomain.
