CVE-2026-0725 in Integrate Dynamics 365 CRM Plugin
Summary
by MITRE • 01/17/2026
The Integrate Dynamics 365 CRM plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Administrator-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-0725 affects the Integrate Dynamics 365 CRM plugin for WordPress, specifically targeting versions up to and including 1.1.1. This represents a critical security flaw that exploits the plugin's inadequate handling of user-supplied input within its administrative settings interface. The issue stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping mechanisms that fail to properly validate or encode data before it is processed and stored within the WordPress environment.
The technical nature of this vulnerability manifests as a stored cross-site scripting flaw that operates within the administrative context of the WordPress platform. When authenticated attackers with administrator-level privileges or higher manipulate the plugin's settings, they can inject malicious scripts that persist in the system's database. These scripts become stored within the affected WordPress installation and execute whenever any user accesses pages that contain the injected content, regardless of whether the user has administrative privileges or not.
This vulnerability operates under the CWE-79 classification as a Stored Cross-Site Scripting attack, where the malicious payload is stored on the server and executed against unsuspecting users who visit affected pages. The attack vector specifically targets the plugin's administrative interface, making it particularly dangerous as it leverages the elevated privileges of administrators to compromise the entire WordPress installation. The ATT&CK framework categorizes this under T1059.001 for Command and Scripting Interpreter and T1566 for Phishing, as the compromised system can be used to deliver malicious payloads to other users.
The operational impact of this vulnerability extends beyond simple script execution, as it provides attackers with the capability to perform various malicious activities including credential theft, session hijacking, data exfiltration, and privilege escalation within the WordPress environment. Since the vulnerability requires administrator-level access to exploit, it represents a significant risk to organizations that have not properly implemented least privilege principles or have not kept their plugins updated. The stored nature of the XSS payload means that the attack remains persistent and can affect multiple users over time without requiring repeated exploitation attempts.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2026-0725 should prioritize immediate plugin updates to versions that address the input sanitization and output escaping deficiencies. Organizations should also implement additional security measures including regular security audits of installed plugins, implementation of web application firewalls, and strict monitoring of administrative user activities. The vulnerability highlights the critical importance of proper input validation and output encoding practices in web applications, particularly within administrative interfaces where privileged access can be leveraged to compromise entire systems. Additionally, organizations should consider implementing content security policies and regular security assessments to identify and remediate similar vulnerabilities across their WordPress installations.
