Published: Wed Dec 17 2025 (12/17/2025, 04:31:31 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: brechtvds
Product: WP Recipe Maker

Description

The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'name' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 10.2.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the wprm-recipe-roundup-item shortcode. 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-2025-14385 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Recipe Maker WordPress plugin (brechtvds) affecting all versions up to and including 10.2.3. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input (CWE-79) in the 'name' parameter of the wprm-recipe-roundup-item shortcode, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor-level or higher privileges to inject and store malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise, such as theft of session tokens or modification of displayed content. There is no impact on availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported.

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 and higher user privileges to trusted users only. Consider disabling or limiting use of the wprm-recipe-roundup-item shortcode if possible. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
