WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The AppPresser – Mobile App Framework plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-1561) that affects all versions up to and including 4.4.10. The vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on March 13, 2025, and primarily impacts the plugin's logging functionality (NVD CVE).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the 'title' parameter when logging is enabled. It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (High) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an affected page where logging is enabled (NVD CVE).

Mitigation and workarounds

A fix has been implemented in version 4.4.11 of the AppPresser plugin, which includes improved input sanitization using wpunslash() and sanitizetextfield() functions ([WordPress Changes](https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3254632/apppresser/tags/4.4.11/inc/AppPresserLog_Admin.php)).
