CVE-2025-14725: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in sablab Internal Link Builder
The Internal Link Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-14725 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the sablab Internal Link Builder WordPress plugin. It arises from insufficient sanitization and escaping of input in admin settings, allowing authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary scripts. This vulnerability specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those where the unfiltered_html capability is disabled. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond accessing the injected page and has a CVSS 3.1 score of 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and requiring high privileges.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator-level access can inject malicious scripts into pages via the plugin's admin settings. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the affected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability is limited to multi-site WordPress environments or installations with unfiltered_html disabled, reducing the scope of impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Administrators should review and restrict administrator access to trusted users only, especially in multi-site environments. Monitor for plugin updates from the vendor and apply them once released. Since this vulnerability requires administrator privileges, limiting such access reduces risk. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
