CVE-2025-12371: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in shakhi Nari Accountant
The Nari Accountant plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via account settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.12 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with editor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-12371 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Nari Accountant WordPress plugin (versions up to 1.0.12). It results from improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). Authenticated users with editor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts via account settings. The vulnerability manifests in multi-site environments or where unfiltered_html is disabled, enabling persistent script execution when affected pages are accessed.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with editor-level permissions or above to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users accessing the affected pages. This could lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as session hijacking or content manipulation. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability is limited to multi-site or restricted HTML filtering configurations.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates. As a temporary mitigation, restrict editor-level permissions carefully and consider disabling multi-site installations or enabling unfiltered_html if appropriate. Avoid granting editor or higher privileges to untrusted users until a fix is released.
