CVE-2025-8691: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in softmus WP Scriptcase
The WP Scriptcase plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'url' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.0.0 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-2025-8691 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP Scriptcase plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.0.0. The vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly sanitize or escape the 'url' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level permissions or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of other users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to confidentiality and integrity impacts. 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). No patch or official fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute when viewed by other users. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise within the affected WordPress site. There is no impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
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 carefully and consider removing or disabling the WP Scriptcase plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from the vendor regarding patches or official mitigations.
