CVE-2025-2685 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the TablePress – Tables in WordPress made easy plugin affecting all versions up to and including 3.0.4. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'table-name' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Author-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 CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the Author level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability.

An attacker with Author-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts into pages via the 'table-name' parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling further attacks. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Author-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the TablePress plugin. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress security channels for official patches or workarounds.
