Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Twitter Feed Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2025-11860

What is CVE-2025-11860?

The Twitter Feed plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability through the 'ottwitter_feed' shortcode. This issue arises because the plugin fails to adequately sanitize user inputs, specifically in the 'width' and 'height' parameters. As a result, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts may execute whenever a user accesses a page containing the malicious injection, potentially leading to session hijacking or other malicious actions.
