CVE-2025-60244 is a vulnerability classified as improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags, commonly known as a basic Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaw, found in the RealMag777 TableOn plugin, specifically in the posts-table-filterable component. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0.4.2. The flaw allows an attacker to inject arbitrary script code into web pages rendered by the plugin, which is then executed in the context of users visiting the affected site. The vulnerability does not require any privileges (AV:N) and has low attack complexity (AC:L), but it requires user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a crafted link or visiting a malicious page. The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the vulnerable component, potentially compromising the entire web application. The impact includes partial loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), enabling attackers to steal session cookies, manipulate page content, or disrupt service. Although no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, the vulnerability's characteristics make it a significant risk for websites using this plugin. The lack of available patches at the time of reporting emphasizes the need for proactive mitigation. The vulnerability was reserved in late September 2025 and published in early November 2025, indicating recent discovery and disclosure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to web applications using the RealMag777 TableOn plugin, especially those relying on the posts-table-filterable feature for content display. Exploitation can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized data access, defacement of websites, and potential spread of malware through injected scripts. This can damage organizational reputation, lead to regulatory non-compliance (e.g., GDPR breaches due to data exposure), and disrupt business operations. The vulnerability's ability to affect confidentiality, integrity, and availability means sensitive customer or internal data could be compromised or manipulated. Given the widespread use of WordPress and its plugins across Europe, organizations in sectors such as e-commerce, media, and public services are particularly at risk. The requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering could facilitate attacks, increasing the threat surface. The absence of known exploits currently provides a window for mitigation but also necessitates vigilance as attackers may develop exploits rapidly.

1. Monitor for official patches or updates from RealMag777 and apply them immediately once available. 2. Until patches are released, implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data related to the posts-table-filterable feature to neutralize script tags and prevent injection. 3. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts and reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks. 4. Use Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting XSS patterns to detect and block malicious payloads targeting this vulnerability. 5. Educate users and administrators about the risks of clicking untrusted links or interacting with suspicious content to reduce successful exploitation via social engineering. 6. Conduct security audits and penetration testing focused on XSS vulnerabilities in the affected web applications. 7. Consider temporary disabling or replacing the TableOn plugin if immediate patching is not feasible, especially on high-risk or public-facing sites. 8. Implement multi-factor authentication (MFA) to limit the impact of session hijacking resulting from XSS exploitation.
