Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-49413 is a reflected cross-site scripting issue in the WordPress Super Store Finder plugin. A victim must interact with a crafted request or link, but no login is required by the attacker. Successful abuse could expose or alter limited browser-visible data and affect site availability in the victim context.
Executive priority
Treat this as a high-priority WordPress plugin risk for any site using Super Store Finder. It is not currently listed as KEV, but public-facing WordPress plugins are common attack targets and should be inventoried and remediated quickly.
Technical view
The CVE describes CWE-79 improper input neutralization during web page generation in highwarden Super Store Finder, package superstorefinder-wp, affecting versions through 7.6. CVSS 3.1 is 7.1: network reachable, low complexity, no privileges, user interaction required, changed scope, and low confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites that have the Super Store Finder plugin installed at version 7.6 or earlier. The bundle does not identify affected endpoints, install prevalence, or a confirmed fixed version.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not report active exploitation, and KEV status is false. The CVSS vector indicates exploitation requires user interaction, likely through a reflected XSS scenario, but the bundle does not include proof-of-concept details or observed attacks.
Researcher notes
Evidence is incomplete. The description says versions through 7.6 are affected, while the structured affected field lists version "0" with defaultStatus "unaffected." No endpoint, payload, fixed version, or exploitation evidence is provided in the bundle.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for the Super Store Finder plugin and version.
- Check Patchstack and vendor guidance for a confirmed fixed release.
- Upgrade once a vendor-confirmed fixed version is available.
- Disable or remove the plugin where risk outweighs business need.
- Use WAF XSS filtering as a temporary compensating control.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether superstorefinder-wp is installed on each WordPress site.
- Record plugin versions and flag any version 7.6 or earlier.
- Review vendor or Patchstack advisories for remediation status.
- Check logs for unusual requests involving the plugin without replaying payloads.
- Validate compensating controls in a non-production environment.

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.
