Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Auto Attachments Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2025-6012

What is CVE-2025-6012?

The Auto Attachments plugin for WordPress contains a vulnerability that allows for Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) through its admin settings. This issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, enabling authenticated attackers with administrator-level permissions to inject malicious web scripts into pages. These scripts execute whenever a user accesses the compromised pages, impacting multi-site installations and instances where unfiltered_html is disabled.
