CVE-2025-0692: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The Simple Video Management System WordPress plugin through version 1.0.4 contains a stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The vulnerability was discovered on January 23, 2025, and was assigned CVE-2025-0692. The issue affects the plugin's video management functionality, specifically in the admin interface (WPScan).

The vulnerability exists because the plugin does not properly sanitize and escape some of its settings, particularly in the video management section. This security flaw could allow high-privilege users such as administrators to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed, such as in multisite setups. The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS score of 3.5 (low severity) and is classified under CWE-79 (WPScan).

The vulnerability allows high-privilege users to inject malicious JavaScript code that would execute when other users interact with the affected content. This could potentially lead to unauthorized actions being performed on behalf of other users viewing the compromised pages (WPScan).

Currently, there is no known fix available for this vulnerability. Users of the Simple Video Management System WordPress plugin version 1.0.4 and below should consider implementing additional security controls or evaluating alternative solutions until a patch is released (WPScan).
