Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-31414 is a stored cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress Cost Calculator Builder plugin through version 3.2.65. A logged-in attacker could store unsafe content that runs when another user views it, potentially affecting data, page integrity, or site operations.
Executive priority
Treat as a moderate web application risk. Prioritize remediation for public WordPress sites, sites with many contributor accounts, or sites where administrators regularly view user-controlled calculator content.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-79 improper input neutralization during web page generation in Stylemix Cost Calculator Builder. CVSS 3.1 is 6.5 with network access, low complexity, low privileges, required user interaction, changed scope, and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites using Cost Calculator Builder version 3.2.65 or earlier, especially where non-administrators can create or edit calculator-related content viewed by staff or visitors.
Exploitation context
The supplied sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. Exploitation is described only as stored XSS requiring low privileges and user interaction; no public exploit details are provided in the bundle.
Researcher notes
Evidence is limited to the CVE description, CVSS vector, and Patchstack vulnerability listing. The bundle does not identify a specific vulnerable parameter, proof of concept, exploit activity, or fixed version.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for Cost Calculator Builder installations and versions.
- Check Stylemix or Patchstack guidance for a fixed version or vendor mitigation.
- Upgrade affected plugin instances when vendor guidance identifies a safe release.
- Restrict calculator editing permissions to trusted users until remediated.
- Disable the plugin where business impact is acceptable and no fix is available.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether Cost Calculator Builder is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record plugin versions and flag any instance at 3.2.65 or earlier.
- Review roles allowed to create or edit calculator content.
- Check recent calculator content changes for unexpected scripts or markup.
- Verify remediation by confirming the plugin is no longer in the affected version range.
