CVE-2025-26567Network attack vector

Browser script execution via DOM-based XSS

Published Feb 13, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

DOM-based XSS in farjana55 Font Awesome WP 1.0 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to run script in a victim's browser. The CNA and its sole advisory do not identify the client-side script, input source, or DOM sink that handles untrusted input without neutralization. Contributor-level access initiates the attack, but successful exploitation requires a privileged user to open crafted content; the script then runs in that user's WordPress origin.
