CVE-2025-6385: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in ejointjp WP Applink
The WP Applink plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘title’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 0.4.1 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-2025-6385 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Applink plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 0.4.1. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the 'title' parameter, enabling authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact. No known exploits in the wild have been reported, and no patch or official fix has been documented.
Potential Impact
An authenticated attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'title' parameter. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions such as session hijacking or data theft. The vulnerability affects confidentiality and integrity but does not impact availability. The scope is changed, meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component.
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 removing or disabling the WP Applink plugin if possible. Monitor for suspicious activity related to injected scripts. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to users to reduce risk.
