CVE-2025-3750: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in johnzenausa Network Posts Extended
The Network Posts Extended plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘post_height’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.7.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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-2025-3750 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Network Posts Extended plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 7.7.1. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'post_height' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-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 information disclosure or session hijacking. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4 (medium severity) with attack vector network, low attack complexity, privileges required at the low level, no user interaction, and scope changed. No patch or official fix details are currently available.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user credentials or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. There is no impact on availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider applying manual input validation or output escaping as a temporary mitigation. Monitor official channels for updates from the plugin vendor regarding patches or workarounds.
