Cross-Site Request Forgery and Stored Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in WP-Walla Plugin by WordPress

CVE-2025-12589

What is CVE-2025-12589?

The WP-Walla plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a combination of Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) and Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This vulnerability arises from missing nonce verification within the settings page and inadequate input sanitization and output escaping. As a result, unauthenticated attackers could potentially exploit this flaw to inject malicious scripts into web pages. This attack requires tricking an administrator into clicking a specially crafted link, which could lead to unauthorized script execution and compromise site integrity.
