Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: wpcommerz
Product: twinklesmtp – Email Service Provider For WordPress

Description

The twinklesmtp – Email Service Provider For WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin's sender settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.03 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-14887 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the twinklesmtp – Email Service Provider For WordPress plugin. It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the plugin's sender settings, allowing authenticated administrators to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 1.03 and is limited to multi-site WordPress setups or installations with unfiltered_html disabled. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 4.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, high attack complexity, and requiring high privileges but no user interaction.

Potential Impact

An attacker with administrator-level permissions can inject malicious scripts into the plugin's sender settings, which are then stored and executed in the context of other users accessing the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. The vulnerability does not affect availability and requires high privileges and a multi-site or restricted HTML environment to be exploitable.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently documented for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is available, restrict administrator access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the twinklesmtp plugin in multi-site or restricted HTML environments. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply any official patches promptly once released.
