What is CVE-2025-12185?

The StaffList plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting via its admin settings. This issue arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping, making it possible for authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to inject malicious web scripts into pages. These scripts execute whenever users access the affected pages, creating a significant risk in multi-site installations or those with 'unfiltered_html' disabled.

Affected Version(s)

StaffList * <= 3.2.6
