Product: Bulma Shortcodes

Description

The Bulma Shortcodes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'type' shortcode attribute in the bulma-notification shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.

Technical Analysis

CVE-2025-11802 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Bulma Shortcodes WordPress plugin by bartboy011. The issue exists in the handling of the 'type' shortcode attribute within the bulma-notification shortcode, allowing authenticated contributors or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). It affects all versions up to and including 1.0.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the vulnerable shortcode attribute. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the infected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking, privilege escalation, or other client-side impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability and has limited impact on confidentiality and integrity as per the CVSS vector.

Mitigation Recommendations

No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the Bulma Shortcodes plugin if possible to prevent exploitation.
