CVE-2025-1672: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in ninjateam Notibar – Notification Bar for WordPress
The Notibar – Notification Bar for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 2.1.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

Technical Summary
The Notibar – Notification Bar for WordPress plugin suffers from a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated users with administrator-level permissions can inject arbitrary scripts via the plugin's admin settings. This vulnerability affects multi-site WordPress setups or installations where unfiltered_html is disabled, allowing persistent script injection that executes when users visit the injected pages. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with administrator privileges on affected WordPress multi-site installations or where unfiltered_html is disabled can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users' browsers. This can lead to unauthorized actions or data disclosure limited to the confidentiality and integrity of the affected site. There is no known exploitation in the wild at this time.
