CVE-2025-1503 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 9.8.0. The issue occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the Roundup Recipe Name field, 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 session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.

An attacker with Contributor-level access or above can store malicious scripts in the Roundup Recipe Name field, which execute when other users view the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of the victim's session, potentially compromising user data confidentiality and integrity. There is no direct impact on system availability. The vulnerability does not require user interaction beyond viewing the injected page.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the Roundup Recipe Name field. Monitor for plugin updates from brechtvds and apply official patches promptly once released.
