CVE-2025-8608 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Mihdan: Elementor Yandex Maps plugin for WordPress. The issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of block attributes, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or above to inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages. This script executes in the context of any user viewing the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.6.11. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity but no impact on availability.

An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject malicious scripts into pages via the plugin's block attributes. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the context of the affected site. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity, with no direct availability impact. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

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 removing or disabling the Mihdan: Elementor Yandex Maps plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the plugin vendor or WordPress plugin repository for a security update addressing this vulnerability.
