VulnerabilityCVE-2025-15522cvecve-2025-15522cwe-79
Published: Fri Jan 23 2026 (01/23/2026, 04:34:58 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: uncannyowl
Product: Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin

Description

The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the automator_discord_user_mapping shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 6.10.0.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the verified_message parameter. 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 with a verified Discord account accesses the injected page.

Technical Analysis

The Uncanny Automator plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the verified_message parameter used in the automator_discord_user_mapping shortcode. This allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users with verified Discord accounts viewing the injected page. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 6.10.0.2. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with scope change.

Potential Impact

An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts via the verified_message parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users with verified Discord accounts who access the affected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data disclosure within the context of those users. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild as of the published date.

Mitigation Recommendations

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 automator_discord_user_mapping shortcode. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once released.
