CVE-2025-60142Network attack vector

Contributor-triggered script execution in victim browsers

Published Sep 26, 2025 · Updated Sep 26, 2025

DOM-based XSS in Dagan Lev Simple Meta Tags 1.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute script in a victim's browser. Patchstack and the CNA record do not disclose the vulnerable script, DOM source, sink, or missing neutralization operation. Contributor-level access can initiate exploitation, but a privileged user must interact with attacker-controlled content; the reported consequence is browser-side script execution.
