CVE-2026-25452
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedImproper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in WPDO Remoji remoji allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Remoji: from n/a through <= 2.2.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceWPDO Remoji plugin version 2.2 and below contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability where user-supplied input is not properly sanitized before being stored and rendered in web pages, allowing attackers to inject malicious JavaScript that executes in victim browsers.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Confirm WPDO Remoji plugin is installedAccess your WordPress admin panel and navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins. Look for 'WPDO Remoji' or 'Remoji' in the list of active plugins.Affected if WPDO Remoji plugin appears in the installed plugins list
-
Check installed plugin versionIn the plugins list, click on the plugin name or view the plugin header file (usually wpdo-remoji.php or similar) to read the Version: field in the plugin comment header.Affected if Version displayed is 2.2 or lower
-
Identify where the plugin stores user inputExamine the plugin database entries: query the wp_options table for option_name containing 'remoji' or check wp_postmeta for post_type 'remoji' entries. Look for fields that accept user text input.Affected if Database contains options or post meta entries created by this plugin that store user-supplied text
-
Inspect stored data for unsanitized contentQuery the relevant database tables and examine the option_value or meta_value fields. Search for patterns like <script, javascript:, onload=, onerror=, and other HTML/event handler attributes that could contain XSS payloads.Affected if Any stored value contains HTML tags, script elements, or event handler attributes (onclick, onerror, etc.) that were not filtered or encoded
-
Verify output rendering lacks encodingCheck the plugin PHP files for echo, print, or print_r statements that output the stored option/meta values. Look for absence of functions like esc_html(), esc_attr(), or sanitize_text_field() at output time.Affected if Plugin code outputs stored user data directly without escaping functions
You are affected if the WPDO Remoji plugin version is 2.2 or lower AND your database contains unsanitized user input stored by this plugin that could execute as JavaScript in browsers.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataImplement proper input validation and sanitization on all user inputs, combined with context-aware output encoding when displaying stored data in web pages to prevent XSS execution.
