What is CVE-2025-30595?

The Include-File plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This can happen during the generation of web pages, where untrusted input is not properly neutralized. As a result, attackers could execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the user's browser, potentially compromising user data and performing actions on their behalf. It is important for users of the plugin to ensure they are using the latest version and to apply security best practices to mitigate this risk.
