Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-26907 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS), in the Estatik Mortgage Calculator WordPress plugin (estatik-mortgage-calculator). This issue affects all versions from n/a through 2.0.12 inclusive. Published on 2025-02-25T15:15:26.263, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and maps to CWE-79.

Low-privileged authenticated users (PR:L) can exploit this vulnerability over the network (AV:N), though it requires high attack complexity (AC:H) and no user interaction (UI:N). Successful exploitation allows attackers to achieve high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H) within the unchanged scope (S:U), such as injecting malicious scripts that persist and execute for other users viewing affected pages.
