What is CVE-2025-15701?
The Easy Social Icons plugin for WordPress, prior to version 4.0.3, fails to properly sanitize and escape certain settings before rendering them on front-end pages. This oversight enables high-privilege users, like Administrators, to exploit the vulnerability for Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as on multisite networks.
Affected Version(s)
Easy Social Icons 0 < 4.0.3
Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)
