What is CVE-2025-5539?
The WP Easy Contact plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting through its 'emd_mb_meta' shortcode. This vulnerability arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping processes on user-supplied attributes. Consequently, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can inject malicious web scripts into pages. Whenever a user visits an affected page, these scripts could execute, potentially compromising user data and overall site integrity. It is crucial for plugin users to update to the latest version to mitigate this risk.
