CVE-2025-13693: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpchill Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid
The Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Custom scripts' setting in all versions up to, and including, 3.6.8 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Author-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-2025-13693 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the wpchill Image Photo Gallery Final Tiles Grid WordPress plugin (versions up to 3.6.8). The flaw exists due to improper neutralization of input in the 'Custom scripts' setting, allowing authenticated users with Author-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of any user viewing the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the Author level.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Author-level or higher privileges to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not impact availability and has limited confidentiality and integrity impact as per the CVSS vector.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'Custom scripts' setting in the plugin to reduce risk.
