CVE-2025-10182: 
WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

The dbview plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-10182) affecting all versions up to and including 0.5.5. The vulnerability was discovered and published on September 29, 2025, with the CVE being assigned on September 30, 2025. The issue exists in the plugin's 'dbview' shortcode functionality (NVD CVE).

The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the dbview shortcode functionality. The issue has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.4 (Medium) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (NVD CVE, Wordfence Analysis).

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or other client-side attacks (NVD CVE).

Users of the dbview WordPress plugin should upgrade to a version newer than 0.5.5 when available. Until a patch is released, site administrators should review and potentially restrict contributor access to minimize the risk of exploitation (NVD CVE).
