CVE-2025-13667: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in tomiup WP Recipe Manager
The WP Recipe Manager plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Skill Level' input field in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-13667 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Recipe Manager plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 1.0.0. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the 'Skill Level' field, allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and requiring privileges but no user interaction.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can store malicious scripts in the 'Skill Level' field, which execute when other users access the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts (e.g., theft of cookies or manipulation of page content). There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond viewing the injected content. No known public exploits have been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'Skill Level' input field. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor and apply official patches promptly once available.
