CVE-2025-12090 (GCVE-0-2025-12090)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2025-11-01 05:40 – Updated: 2026-04-08 16:49

Title

Employee Spotlight – Team Member Showcase & Meet the Team Plugin <= 5.1.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting

Summary

The Employee Spotlight – Team Member Showcase & Meet the Team Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Social URLs in all versions up to, and including, 5.1.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

Severity

6.4 (Medium)
