VulnerabilityCVE-2025-15486cvecve-2025-15486cwe-79
Published: Wed Jan 14 2026 (01/14/2026, 05:28:13 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: kunzemarketing
Product: Kunze Law

Description

The Kunze Law plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via plugin's shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.1 due to the plugin fetching HTML content from a remote server and injecting it into pages without any sanitization or escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access 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. Additional presence of a path traversal vulnerability in the shortcode name allows writing malicious HTML files to arbitrary writable locations on the server.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-15486 describes a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Kunze Law WordPress plugin (versions up to 2.1). The plugin fetches HTML content remotely and injects it into pages without proper sanitization, enabling authenticated users with administrator privileges to inject malicious scripts. This vulnerability specifically impacts multi-site WordPress installations or those where unfiltered_html is disabled. Furthermore, a path traversal vulnerability in the shortcode name allows attackers to write malicious HTML files to arbitrary writable server locations. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, high attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, scope changed, and low confidentiality and integrity impact with no availability impact.

Potential Impact

An authenticated attacker with administrator-level access can exploit this vulnerability to inject and store malicious scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the affected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The path traversal issue further allows writing malicious files to arbitrary locations on the server, which could facilitate additional attacks or persistence. The impact is limited to multi-site or unfiltered_html-disabled installations and requires high privileges, reducing the likelihood of exploitation by lower-privileged users.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Administrators should review plugin usage in multi-site environments and consider restricting administrator access to trusted users only. Monitoring for unusual shortcode usage or unexpected file writes may help detect exploitation attempts. Check the vendor advisory regularly for updates or official patches. Since this is not a cloud service, remediation depends on applying vendor fixes once available or implementing manual mitigations.
