CVE-2025-12631: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in spokanetony Squirrels Auto Inventory
The Squirrels Auto Inventory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-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
The Squirrels Auto Inventory plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This vulnerability allows authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary scripts through the plugin's admin settings. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The issue specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled. No patch or official fix is currently documented for this vulnerability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages. This can lead to theft of sensitive information, session hijacking, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not affect single-site installations or those with unfiltered_html enabled. The overall impact is limited by the requirement for high privileges and specific WordPress configurations.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling multi-site functionality or enabling unfiltered_html if feasible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or plugin author regarding patches or official mitigations.
