CVE-2025-13894: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in sumotto CSV Sumotto
The CSV Sumotto plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']` variable in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The CSV Sumotto plugin for WordPress suffers from a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Specifically, the plugin uses the $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable without adequate sanitization or output escaping, enabling attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL that, when visited by a user, executes injected scripts in the context of the vulnerable site. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected website within a user's browser. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts such as session hijacking or defacement. There is no impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, users should consider disabling or removing the CSV Sumotto plugin or applying manual mitigations such as input sanitization and output escaping if feasible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
