CVE-2025-15690: Content Mask 1.7.1 - 1.8.5.5 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Post Scripts and Styles
- Severity: medium (CVSS 6.8 v3.1)
- Exploited in the wild: not listed in CISA KEV
- EPSS: 0.4% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days
- Public exploit or detection template: none known
- Published: 2026-09-09 · updated 2026-10-19
- Weakness: CWE-79
Description
The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.6 does not properly sanitise and escape content submitted with a post before outputting it in the pages it generates, allowing users with a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks against any user viewing or previewing the affected page. The Content Mask WordPress plugin before 1.8.5.6's option to restrict its use by role does not prevent this.
Affected products
- Content Mask: from 1.7.1 before 1.8.5.6 — fixed in 1.8.5.6
How to fix
Upgrade to a fixed version: Content Mask 1.8.5.6. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
