Stored cross-site scripting in Custom Twitter Feeds plugin for WordPress versions ≤2.5.4 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript when malicious content enters cached tweet data. The vulnerability stems from the ctf_get_more_posts AJAX endpoint outputting cached tweet text through nl2br() without HTML escaping, accessible without authentication (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N). Attack requires either posting malicious tweets that the target site caches via its feed configuration, or leveraging other vulnerabilities to poison the tweet cache. No active exploitation confirmed at time of analysis. Wordfence identified the flaw with patch available in changeset 3519584.
