CVE-2025-13989
Last modified
CVE-2025-13989 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The WP Dropzone plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'callback' shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied 'callback' attributes, which are evaluated as JavaScript code via the `new Function()` constructor. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
The WP Dropzone plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'callback' shortcode attribute in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied 'callback' attributes, which are evaluated as JavaScript code via the `new Function()` constructor. This makes it possible for 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.
