CVE-2025-7495: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in cbutlerjr WP-Members Membership Plugin
The WP-Members Membership Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'wpmem_login_link' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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-2025-7495 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP-Members Membership Plugin for WordPress, specifically affecting the 'wpmem_login_link' shortcode. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level privileges or higher to inject malicious 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 vulnerability affects all plugin versions up to 3.5.4.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and privileges required at the contributor level.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to theft of user credentials, session tokens, or other malicious actions within the context of the affected site. There is no indication of 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 disabling or avoiding use of the 'wpmem_login_link' shortcode. Monitor official vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
