Last modified
CVE-2025-6012 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 5.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The Auto Attachments plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.8.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
