Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVE-2025-15380

High
7.2/10

Summary

The NotificationX – FOMO, Live Sales Notification, WooCommerce Sales Popup, GDPR, Social Proof, Announcement Banner & Floating Notification Bar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-Based Cross-Site Scripting via the 'nx-preview' POST parameter in all versions up to, and including, 3.2.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping when processing preview data. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute when a user visits a malicious page that auto-submits a form to the vulnerable site.

Cross-Site Scripting, commonly referred to as XSS, is the most dominant class of vulnerabilities. It allows an attacker to inject malicious code into a pregnable web application and victimize its users. The exploitation of such a weakness can cause severe issues such as account takeover, and sensitive data exfiltration. Because of the prevalence of XSS vulnerabilities and their high rate of exploitation, it has remained in the OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities for years.
