CVE-2025-7966: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in zohaib167 Get Youtube Subs
The Get Youtube Subs plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘channel', 'layout', and 'subs_count’ parameters in all versions up to, and including, 3.5 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-2025-7966 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Get Youtube Subs WordPress plugin by zohaib167. It affects all versions up to and including 3.5. The vulnerability allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts through the 'channel', 'layout', and 'subs_count' parameters due to improper input sanitization and output escaping. These scripts execute when other users access the injected pages, potentially compromising user data or session integrity. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), indicating network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact without availability impact.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated contributors or higher to inject and store malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity loss, such as session hijacking or unauthorized actions performed by victim users. There is no reported impact on availability. No known exploits in the wild have been documented.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should restrict Contributor-level access and above to trusted individuals only to reduce risk. Monitor vendor advisories for updates or patches addressing this issue. Implementing additional web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious input patterns related to the affected parameters may provide temporary mitigation.
