CVE-2025-8062 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WS Theme Addons WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 2.0.0. The issue stems from improper neutralization of input in the ws_weather shortcode, where user-supplied attributes are not properly sanitized or escaped. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript code into pages, which executes in the context of users visiting those pages. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network exploitability with low complexity and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity. No known exploits in the wild or vendor patches have been reported as of the published date.

An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into WordPress pages via the ws_weather shortcode. This can lead to unauthorized script execution in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially exposing sensitive information or enabling further attacks within the affected site context. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires authenticated access, limiting its scope. There are no known active exploits reported.

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 removing the WS Theme Addons plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor or security advisories to apply any forthcoming patches promptly.
