Published: Tue Nov 18 2025 (11/18/2025, 07:30:37 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: kurudrive
Product: VK All in One Expansion Unit

Description

The VK All in One Expansion Unit plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'vkExUnit_cta_url' and 'vkExUnit_cta_button_text' parameters in all versions up to, and including, 9.112.1. This is due to a logic error in the CTA save function that reads sanitization callbacks from the wrong variable ($custom_field_name instead of $custom_field_options), causing the sanitization to never be applied. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute when a user accesses an injected page.",

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-11265 is a stored XSS vulnerability in the VK All in One Expansion Unit WordPress plugin due to improper sanitization of user input in the CTA save function. The sanitization callbacks are incorrectly referenced from the variable $custom_field_name instead of $custom_field_options, resulting in no sanitization being applied to the 'vkExUnit_cta_url' and 'vkExUnit_cta_button_text' parameters. Authenticated attackers with Contributor-level permissions or higher can exploit this to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the injected pages.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows an authenticated user with Contributor-level access or above 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 has limited confidentiality and integrity impact as per the CVSS vector.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting the use of the vulnerable plugin. Monitor vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this issue.
