An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-58638 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: e-plugins Institutions Directory. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-58638/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-58638/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-58638","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-58638/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-58638","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vfv7-fp4j-fvpr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the Institutions Directory WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in e-plugins Institutions Directory institutions-directory allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Institutions Directory: from n/a through \u003c= 1.3.3.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Institutions Directory Plugin \u003c= 1.3.3 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-58638","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Contact Form By Mega Forms Plugin \u003c= 1.6.1 - Broken Access Control Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-58639"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress immonex Kickstart Plugin \u003c= 1.11.6 - Local File Inclusion Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-58637"},"products":["Institutions Directory"],"published":"2025-11-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["e-plugins"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the Institutions Directory WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-58638/"}
