CVE-2025-13729: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in greenshady Entry Views
The Entry Views plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'entry-views' shortcode 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-2025-13729 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the greenshady Entry Views WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 1.0.0. The flaw arises from improper neutralization of user-supplied attributes in the 'entry-views' shortcode, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to partial confidentiality and integrity loss such as theft of user data or session tokens. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability requires authenticated access and does not involve user interaction beyond viewing the page.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only. Consider disabling or removing the Entry Views plugin if feasible. Monitor for plugin updates from greenshady that address this vulnerability.
