CVE-2025-15522
Unknown Unknown - Not Provided
Stored XSS in Uncanny Automator Plugin via Discord Shortcode

Publication date: 2026-01-23

Last updated on: 2026-01-23

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Uncanny Automator – Easy Automation, Integration, Webhooks & Workflow Builder Plugin plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the automator_discord_user_mapping shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 6.10.0.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the verified_message parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user with a verified Discord account accesses the injected page.

Executive Summary

CVE-2025-15522 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Uncanny Automator WordPress plugin, specifically in the Discord User Mapping shortcode component. The vulnerability arises because the plugin does not properly sanitize and escape the 'verified_message' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute whenever a user with a verified Discord account views the affected page, potentially compromising user sessions or data. [1, 2]

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability can allow an authenticated attacker with Contributor-level access or above to inject malicious scripts into pages viewed by users with verified Discord accounts. The injected scripts can execute in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, unauthorized actions, or theft of sensitive information. Since the attack requires authenticated access, it primarily impacts sites where users have such roles, but the consequences can affect any user viewing the injected content. [1, 2]

Detection Guidance

Detection of CVE-2025-15522 involves identifying if the Uncanny Automator WordPress plugin version 6.10.0.2 or earlier is installed and if the shortcode [automator_discord_user_mapping] is used. Since the vulnerability is a stored XSS via the verified_message parameter, monitoring for unusual script injections in pages rendering this shortcode is key. Specific commands are not provided in the resources, but inspecting the plugin version can be done via WP-CLI with: `wp plugin get uncanny-automator --field=version`. Additionally, reviewing page source for suspicious scripts in the Discord user mapping sections may help detect exploitation attempts. [1]

Mitigation Strategies

Immediate mitigation involves updating the Uncanny Automator plugin to a version where the vulnerability is fixed. The fix involves sanitizing the verified_message parameter output using esc_html(), preventing script injection. If an update is not immediately possible, restricting Contributor-level user access and above from using the Discord user mapping shortcode or disabling the shortcode temporarily can reduce risk. Monitoring and removing any injected malicious scripts from affected pages is also recommended. [2]
