Product: Material Design Iconic Font Integration

Description

The Material Design Iconic Font Integration plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'mdiconic' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-11872 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Material Design Iconic Font Integration plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including version 2. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79), specifically insufficient sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes in the 'mdiconic' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, with attack vector network, low attack complexity, privileges required at the low level, no user interaction, and scope changed. The impact includes limited confidentiality and integrity loss but no availability impact. There is no vendor advisory or patch link provided, and the plugin is not a cloud service.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of session tokens, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity loss without affecting availability. There is no evidence of known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

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 removing the vulnerable plugin. Monitor official sources for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
