CVE-2025-1560: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in darkosxrc WOW Entrance Effects (WEE!)
The WOW Entrance Effects (WEE!) plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wee' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.1 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
CVE-2025-1560 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WOW Entrance Effects (WEE!) WordPress plugin, affecting all versions up to 0.1. The flaw arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the plugin's 'wee' shortcode. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can exploit this to inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. No known exploits in the wild or vendor patches are currently documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or above to inject and store malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who view the affected pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of the victim's session, potentially compromising confidentiality and integrity of user data within the WordPress site. There is no reported impact on availability. The vulnerability does not affect unauthenticated users directly.
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 removing the WOW Entrance Effects (WEE!) plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security channels for patches addressing this vulnerability.
