CVE-2025-1485 Details
Description
The Real Cookie Banner: GDPR & ePrivacy Cookie Consent WordPress plugin before 5.1.6, real-cookie-banner-pro WordPress plugin before 5.1.6 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Real Cookie Banner: GDPR & ePrivacy Cookie Consent WordPress plugin, as well as the real-cookie-banner-pro WordPress plugin, both prior to version 5.1.6. The issue arises because the plugins do not properly sanitize and escape certain settings, allowing high-privilege users, such as administrators, to execute stored cross-site scripting attacks. This vulnerability is particularly concerning in multisite setups, where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted.
Users are advised to update to version 5.1.6 or later.
