CVE-2025-1328: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in mrlegend1235 Typed JS: A typewriter style animation
The Typed JS: A typewriter style animation plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘typespeed’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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
The Typed JS WordPress plugin, used for typewriter-style text animations, suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'typespeed' parameter. This allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts that persist and execute in the context of other users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.2.0. There is no indication of known exploits in the wild or an available patch at this time.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated Contributor or higher user to inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes in the browsers of users who view those pages. This can lead to information disclosure and integrity impacts within the affected WordPress environment. There is no direct impact on availability reported.
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 carefully and monitor for suspicious activity related to the 'typespeed' parameter. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to untrusted users.
