CVE-2025-13907 is a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in the tunilame CSS3 Buttons plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 0.1. The root cause is improper neutralization of user input during web page generation, specifically insufficient sanitization and output escaping of attributes supplied to the plugin's 'button' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this flaw by injecting arbitrary JavaScript code into pages or posts that utilize the vulnerable shortcode. When any user accesses the compromised page, the injected script executes in their browser context, potentially allowing theft of session cookies, unauthorized actions on behalf of users, or redirection to malicious sites. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond visiting the page and does not affect availability but compromises confidentiality and integrity. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and scope change. No public exploits or patches are currently available, increasing the urgency for defensive measures. The vulnerability is cataloged under CWE-79, a common web application security weakness. Given WordPress's widespread use in Europe, especially for content management and e-commerce, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to organizations relying on the tunilame CSS3 Buttons plugin for UI enhancements.

For European organizations, this vulnerability can lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as session tokens, enabling attackers to impersonate users or escalate privileges. This is particularly concerning for sites with contributor-level users who can inject malicious content, potentially compromising site integrity and user trust. Attackers could also deface websites or redirect visitors to phishing or malware sites, damaging brand reputation and causing financial losses. Since the vulnerability requires authentication, insider threats or compromised contributor accounts are primary risk vectors. The widespread use of WordPress in Europe, including governmental, educational, and commercial sectors, amplifies the potential impact. Additionally, GDPR implications arise if personal data is exposed or manipulated, leading to regulatory penalties. The lack of available patches means organizations must rely on interim controls, increasing operational risk. Overall, the vulnerability threatens confidentiality and integrity of web content and user data but does not directly impact system availability.

European organizations should immediately audit user roles and restrict contributor-level access to trusted personnel only, minimizing the risk of malicious shortcode injection. Until an official patch is released, consider disabling or removing the tunilame CSS3 Buttons plugin from WordPress installations. Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious shortcode attribute patterns indicative of XSS payloads. Employ Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict script execution sources, mitigating impact of injected scripts. Regularly monitor website content for unauthorized changes or injected scripts, using automated scanning tools. Educate contributors about secure content practices and the risks of injecting untrusted code. Once patches become available, prioritize prompt testing and deployment. Additionally, review and harden WordPress security configurations, including limiting plugin installations and enforcing strong authentication mechanisms. Maintain comprehensive backups to enable rapid recovery if exploitation occurs.
