    WordPress: Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File Uploads in Houzez Theme

    In Houzez theme for WordPress versions up to and including 4.1.6 a medium severity vulnerability CVE-2025-9163 was detected. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) by uploading malicious SVG files due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the houzez_property_img_upload() and houzez_property_attachment_upload() functions. Exploitation can lead to arbitrary script execution whenever a user accesses the injected SVG file. To address this issue, users should upgrade the theme to version 4.1.7 or later. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-9163.

    Mattermost: Account Takeover via Token Verification Bypass in SSO Code Exchange

    In Mattermost versions 11.0.x through 11.0.2, 10.12.x through 10.12.1, 10.11.x through 10.11.4, and 10.5.x through 10.5.12 a critical severity vulnerability CVE-2025-12421 was detected. This vulnerability allows an authenticated user to perform account takeover via a specially crafted email address when switching authentication methods and sending a request to the /users/login/sso/code-exchange endpoint. This is due to failure to verify that the token used during the code exchange originates from the same authentication flow. The vulnerability requires ExperimentalEnableAuthenticationTransfer to be enabled (default: enabled) and RequireEmailVerification to be disabled (default: disabled). To address this issue, users should upgrade Mattermost to versions 11.0.3, 10.12.2, 10.11.5, 10.5.13 or later. For more details, visit https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-12421.

    Mattermost: Account Takeover via OAuth/OpenID State Token Validation Bypass

    In Mattermost versions 10.12.x through 10.12.1, 10.11.x through 10.11.4, 10.5.x through 10.5.12, and 11.0.x through 11.0.3 a critical severity vulnerability CVE-2025-12419 was detected. This vulnerability allows an authenticated attacker with team creation privileges to take over a user account by manipulating authentication data during the OAuth completion flow.
