CVE-2025-12065
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The WP Carticon plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'carticon_js_script' parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.

"value": "El plugin WP Carticon para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting almacenado a través del parámetro 'carticon_js_script' en todas las versiones hasta la 1.0.0, inclusive, debido a la sanitización insuficiente de la entrada y al escape inadecuado de la salida. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel de administrador, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada. Esto solo afecta a instalaciones multisitio e instalaciones donde 'unfiltered_html' ha sido deshabilitado."
