CVE-2025-10178

MEDIUM

CM Business Directory < 1.5.2 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting via cmbd_featured_image Shortcode

Title source: llm

Description

The CM Business Directory plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'cmbd_featured_image' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.5.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
