CVE-2024-12525 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Easy MLS Listings Import WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to and including 2.0.1. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'homeasap-featured-listings' shortcode, where user-supplied attributes are not adequately sanitized or escaped. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and scope change.

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or content manipulation, when other users access the injected pages. There is no impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Easy MLS Listings Import plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor and apply patches promptly once released.
