CVE-2025-1620

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions GDPR Cookie Compliance WordPress plugin versions prior to 4.15.7

Description The issue concerns the GDPR Cookie Compliance WordPress plugin, which does not properly sanitize and escape some of its settings. This could allow high-privilege users, such as administrators, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks, even when the unfiltered html capability is disallowed, for example, in a multisite setup.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.15.7, update to version 4.15.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the unfiltered html capability to minimize the risk of exploitation. Additionally, restrict access to the plugin's settings to only necessary users to reduce the attack surface.
