Product: FX Currency Converter

Description

The FX Currency Converter plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'fxcc_convert' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.2.0 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-13963 identifies a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the falselight FX Currency Converter WordPress plugin, specifically in the 'fxcc_convert' shortcode. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary scripts via user-supplied shortcode attributes. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 0.2.0. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No patch or vendor advisory is currently available, and the plugin is not a cloud service.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts into pages using the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the infected pages, potentially compromising user data confidentiality and integrity. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability could facilitate actions such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed by users viewing the injected content. 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 released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the FX Currency Converter plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or WordPress plugin repository regarding patches or mitigations.
