CVE-2025-1407: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in amothemo AMO Team Showcase
The AMO Team Showcase plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's amoteam_skills shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.4 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-2025-1407 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the AMO Team Showcase WordPress plugin (up to version 1.1.4). The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the amoteam_skills shortcode, where user-supplied attributes are not adequately sanitized or escaped. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can inject arbitrary JavaScript code that executes in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts as indicated by the CVSS vector (C:L/I:L/A:N).
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. These scripts execute in the browsers of users viewing the infected pages, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or manipulation of page content. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact, consistent with the CVSS score of 6.4 (medium severity). There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or patch links are currently available. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a patch is released, restricting contributor-level access and above to trusted users only can reduce risk. Avoid using the vulnerable shortcode with untrusted input. Implementing additional input sanitization or output escaping via custom code or security plugins may provide temporary mitigation.
