CVE-2026-32545
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Taboola Taboola Pixel taboola-pixel allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Taboola Pixel: from n/a through <= 1.1.4.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceReflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Taboola Pixel versions up to 1.1.4. User-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being rendered in the web page, allowing an attacker to inject malicious JavaScript code that executes in the victim's browser.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if Taboola Pixel is deployedInspect your web application's source code, dependencies (package.json, requirements.txt), or loaded JavaScript files for references to 'Taboola Pixel', 'taboola', or the Taboola tracking script URL (typically something like https://cdn.taboola.com/libtrc/...).Affected if Taboola Pixel code or script references are found in your environment
-
Determine the installed Taboola Pixel versionLocate the Taboola Pixel script file (often named something like taboola.js or included in a bundle) and check the file header, comments, or version property within the code. If using a package manager, check your dependency lock file for the taboola-pixel version number.Affected if The version cannot be determined or is found to be 1.1.4 or lower
-
Compare version against affected rangeVerify if the installed version is 1.1.4 or any version up to and including 1.1.4. The vulnerability affects all versions from the initial release through 1.1.4.Affected if The installed version is 1.1.4 or any earlier version (e.g., 1.1.3, 1.1.0, 1.0.0)
-
Check for user input reflection in Taboola integrationReview your implementation of Taboola Pixel to see if any dynamic user-supplied data (such as query parameters, referrer info, or custom variables) is passed to Taboola tracking calls and could be reflected in the rendered page without encoding.Affected if User-controlled data is passed to Taboola Pixel and rendered on the page without sanitization
You are affected if Taboola Pixel version 1.1.4 or earlier is installed in your environment and user-supplied input can be reflected through the Taboola integration.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataUpgrade Taboola Pixel to a version beyond 1.1.4 that includes proper input sanitization and output encoding. Until then, implement Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to mitigate XSS execution.
