Overview

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the tli.tl auto Twitter poster WordPress plugin, tracked as CVE-2025-48324. The vulnerability affects versions up to and including 3.4 of the plugin. This security issue was discovered by researcher Jieun Kim and was publicly disclosed on August 22, 2025 (Patchstack).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (CWE-79), specifically a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) issue. It has received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9 (Medium), with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. This indicates that the vulnerability requires high privileges and user interaction to exploit, but can be accessed through the network (NVD).

Impact

If successfully exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to inject malicious scripts, including redirects and advertisements, as well as other HTML payloads into the website. These malicious scripts would be executed when visitors access the affected site (Patchstack).

Exploitability

The vulnerability requires an authenticated user with high privileges to exploit, and also needs user interaction for successful exploitation. The software is considered likely abandoned as it hasn't received updates in over a year, which increases the risk as no official fix is expected (Patchstack).

Mitigation and workarounds

As no official fix is available and the software is considered abandoned, the recommended mitigation is to remove and replace the plugin with an alternative solution. Note that merely deactivating the plugin does not remove the security threat unless a virtual patch is deployed (Patchstack).
