Product: Social Feed Gallery Portfolio

Description

The Social Feed Gallery Portfolio plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'id' parameter of the [igp-wp] shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.3 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-13896 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Social Feed Gallery Portfolio WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 1.3). It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the 'id' parameter of the [igp-wp] shortcode, allowing authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. No patch or official fix has been documented yet.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can store malicious scripts via the vulnerable shortcode parameter, which execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages. This can lead to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires authenticated access, limiting its impact to environments where such users exist.

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 and consider disabling or removing the Social Feed Gallery Portfolio plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
