WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Solid Mail – SMTP email and logging plugin for WordPress (CVE-2025-1123) contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability affecting all versions up to and including 2.1.5. The vulnerability exists due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the email Name, Subject, and Body fields (MITRE CVE).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from improper input validation and output escaping mechanisms in the plugin's handling of email-related fields including Name, Subject, and Body. This security flaw allows for the injection of malicious web scripts that are stored on the server and executed when users access affected pages (MITRE CVE).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This could potentially lead to unauthorized access, data theft, or manipulation of user sessions (MITRE CVE).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users are advised to update their Solid Mail – SMTP plugin to a version newer than 2.1.5 which contains the security fix (WordPress Plugins).
