What is CVE-2025-13071?
The Custom Admin Menu plugin for WordPress versions up to 1.0.0 is susceptible to a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This occurs due to the improper sanitization and escaping of user-supplied input before being rendered on the page. As a result, attackers could exploit this weakness to execute malicious scripts in the context of high-privilege users, such as administrators, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data exposure. Site administrators are advised to review their installations and apply necessary updates to safeguard against these security risks.
Affected Version(s)
Custom Admin Menu 0 <= 1.0.0
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
