What is CVE-2025-0718?

The Nested Pages WordPress plugin prior to version 3.2.13 contains a vulnerability that fails to properly sanitize and escape certain settings. This oversight can potentially allow high privilege users—such as contributors—to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even in environments that restrict unfiltered HTML capability, such as multisite setups. It is crucial for administrators of affected installations to update to the latest version to mitigate this security risk.
