An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-68525 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: pixelgrade Category Icon. 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-2025-68525/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68525/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68525","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68525/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68525","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vh4j-wc5r-44xh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts via stored XSS in the Category Icon plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 pixelgrade Category Icon category-icon allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Category Icon: from n/a through \u003c= 1.0.2.","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 Category Icon plugin \u003c= 1.0.2 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-68525","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 Modal Popup Box plugin \u003c= 1.6.1 - PHP Object Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-68526"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Avante theme \u003c 3.0.5 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-68524"},"products":["Category Icon"],"published":"2025-12-24","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":["pixelgrade"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts via stored XSS in the Category Icon plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68525/"}
