CVE-2025-14983
The Advanced Custom Fields: Font Awesome Field plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
