CVE-2025-10189: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in mrwulf BP Direct Menus
The BP Direct Menus plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'bpdm_login' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-10189 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the BP Direct Menus WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.0). The issue stems from improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the 'bpdm_login' shortcode. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code via insufficiently sanitized shortcode attributes. This code executes in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages using the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires authenticated access, limiting its impact scope. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's communications for updates or fixes. As a temporary measure, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the BP Direct Menus plugin until a fix is released. Avoid using the 'bpdm_login' shortcode with untrusted input. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
