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.
