Last modified
CVE-2025-0916 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The YaySMTP and Email Logs: Amazon SES, SendGrid, Outlook, Mailgun, Brevo, Google and Any SMTP Service plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in versions 2.4.9 to 2.6.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
