CVE-2025-3488

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WPML plugin for WordPress versions 3.6.0 through 4.7.3

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's wpml language switcher shortcode due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For WPML plugin for WordPress versions 3.6.0 through 4.7.3, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue in the wpml language switcher shortcode. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the wpml language switcher shortcode for users with contributor-level access and above until a patch is available.
