Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

CVE-2025-22551 is a stored cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress Boot-Modal plugin through version 1.9.1. If abused, attacker-controlled content could run in another user's browser, potentially affecting site integrity, user trust, and admin sessions.

Executive priority

Treat as a moderate WordPress application risk. Prioritize sites where untrusted users can create or edit content, or where administrator sessions are exposed through the same browser context.

Technical view

The CVE describes CWE-79 improper input neutralization during web page generation in albedo0 Boot-Modal. CVSS 3.1 score is 6.5 with network attack vector, low complexity, low privileges required, user interaction required, and changed scope.

Likely exposure

Exposure is limited to WordPress sites using the Boot-Modal plugin at version 1.9.1 or earlier. The bundle does not identify affected installations, hosting environments, or a patched version.

Exploitation context

The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or cited evidence of active exploitation. CVSS indicates exploitation requires low privileges and user interaction, consistent with stored XSS risk rather than unauthenticated server compromise.

Researcher notes

Evidence is narrow: the CVE and Patchstack reference identify stored XSS through version 1.9.1, but the provided bundle does not name a patch, workaround, proof of concept, or exploitation in the wild.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory WordPress sites for the Boot-Modal plugin and installed version.
  • Disable or remove Boot-Modal where it is not business-critical.
  • Check Patchstack and vendor guidance for remediation or fixed-version availability.
  • Limit plugin-management and content-editing privileges to trusted users.
  • Review pages using Boot-Modal for unexpected script-like content.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether any site runs Boot-Modal version 1.9.1 or earlier.
  • Verify the plugin is disabled, removed, or remediated per vendor guidance.
  • Review administrative users and low-privilege roles that can modify Boot-Modal content.
  • Inspect affected pages for unexpected injected markup or script behavior.
  • Document findings in the WordPress asset and vulnerability inventory.
