Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2022-25604 is a stored cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress Price Table plugin up to version 0.2.2. A contributor-level or higher account could store malicious script content that runs when another user views affected content. Business risk is limited by required authentication and user interaction, but compromised editor accounts could turn this into a persistent site-admin exposure path.
Executive priority
Handle in normal vulnerability remediation cycles unless the plugin is exposed on business-critical WordPress sites or many users have contributor-level access. Prioritize removal or verified upgrade because the source bundle does not name a fixed version.
Technical view
The vulnerability is CWE-79 stored XSS in Greg Priday's Price Table WordPress plugin <=0.2.2. CVSS 3.1 is 4.1: network reachable, low complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, changed scope, no confidentiality impact, low integrity impact, no availability impact. Sources do not provide exploit steps, active exploitation evidence, or a confirmed fixed version.
Likely exposure
Exposure is likely limited to WordPress sites that installed Price Table version 0.2.2 or earlier and allow contributor-level or higher users. Risk increases where low-privilege accounts are broadly assigned, shared, or compromised.
Exploitation context
The cited record does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. Exploitation requires authenticated access as contributor or higher and user interaction by someone viewing affected stored content. Treat it as a persistent XSS risk, not a remote unauthenticated takeover.
Researcher notes
Evidence supports authenticated stored XSS, affected versions <=0.2.2, CVSS 4.1, and CWE-79. The bundle does not include payload details, proof-of-concept status, active exploitation, or a specific patch version. Validation should focus on installation presence, version, role exposure, and vendor-maintained remediation.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Price Table plugin and version.
- Check vendor, WordPress.org, and Patchstack guidance for a fixed or maintained release.
- Update if a trusted fixed release is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin if no supported fix is available.
- Restrict contributor-or-higher roles to trusted users only.
- Review suspicious Price Table content created by contributor-level accounts.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether any site runs Price Table version 0.2.2 or earlier.
- Verify current plugin status against WordPress.org and Patchstack advisories.
- Review WordPress users with contributor, author, editor, or admin roles.
- Check recent plugin-related content changes from lower-privileged accounts.
- Document whether remediation was update, disablement, or removal.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
