CVE-2025-11185 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Complianz – GDPR/CCPA Cookie Consent WordPress plugin. The flaw exists in the cmplz-accept-link shortcode, where user input is not properly sanitized or escaped before being rendered in web pages. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can exploit this to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users visiting the infected pages. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to and including 7.4.3. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction.

Successful exploitation allows an attacker with contributor-level access or higher to 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 theft of cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information, as well as unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. The vulnerability does not impact availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity to a limited extent.

No official patch or fix is currently confirmed from the provided data. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or avoiding use of the cmplz-accept-link shortcode. Monitor vendor communications for updates and apply official patches promptly once released.
