CVE-2025-14745: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in rebelcode RSS Aggregator – RSS Import, News Feeds, Feed to Post, and Autoblogging
The RSS Aggregator – RSS Import, News Feeds, Feed to Post, and Autoblogging plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wp-rss-aggregator' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.10 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
The RSS Aggregator plugin for WordPress versions up to 5.0.10 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the 'wp-rss-aggregator' shortcode. This allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary scripts into pages, which execute upon page access by other users. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, indicating medium severity. There is no patch or official fix currently available, and the plugin is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates or user action.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation enables an authenticated contributor or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into WordPress pages via the vulnerable shortcode. This can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or data confidentiality. The impact is limited to users who access the injected content and requires contributor-level access to exploit.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the vulnerable plugin to prevent exploitation.
