CVE-2025-10006: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wpbakery WPBakery Page Builder
The WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'rev_slider_vc' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 8.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This is only exploitable when RevSlider is also installed.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress contains a stored XSS vulnerability (CWE-79) in its 'rev_slider_vc' shortcode due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. This vulnerability affects all versions up to 8.6 and requires the presence of the RevSlider plugin. Authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages. The vulnerability is caused by insufficient sanitization and escaping of user input attributes in the shortcode processing.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor-level or higher user to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of other users viewing the affected pages. This can lead to session hijacking, defacement, or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires user interaction (page access). There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — no official fix or patch links are provided. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory for updates and apply any official patches once available. Until then, restrict contributor-level access carefully and consider disabling or removing the RevSlider plugin if not required, as the vulnerability is only exploitable when RevSlider is installed.
