WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
The Campus Directory plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in versions up to and including 1.9.1. The vulnerability was discovered on August 4, 2025, and was assigned CVE-2025-8313. The issue affects the 'noaccess_msg' parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping (NVD).
Technical details
The vulnerability is classified as a CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) issue. It received 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 exists in the plugin's form handling functionality where the 'noaccess_msg' parameter is not properly sanitized before being displayed to users (NVD, WordPress Changelog).
Impact
The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an affected page, potentially leading to theft of sensitive information or manipulation of page content (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
