What is CVE-2025-5209?
The Ivory Search plugin for WordPress prior to version 5.5.10 is vulnerable due to improper sanitization and escaping of certain settings. This lack of security measures enables users with high privileges, such as administrators, to execute Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even in environments where unfiltered HTML is disabled. Such vulnerabilities can lead to unauthorized actions on behalf of users, with potentially severe consequences for website security and user trust.
Affected Version(s)
Ivory Search 0 < 5.5.10
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.
