CVE-2025-14732: CWE-87 Improper Neutralization of Alternate XSS Syntax in elemntor Elementor Website Builder – more than just a page builder
Elementor Website Builder plugin for WordPress up to version 3. 35. 5 contains a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. Authenticated users with Contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious scripts via several widget parameters. These scripts execute when any user views the affected page. The vulnerability arises from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. The CVSS score is 6. 4, indicating a medium severity level. No official patch or remediation guidance is currently available. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-14732 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Elementor Website Builder WordPress plugin (up to version 3.35.5). It results from improper neutralization of alternate XSS syntax (CWE-87) due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping in multiple widget parameters. Authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users visiting the compromised pages. This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an authenticated contributor or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to unauthorized actions or data disclosure limited to the scope of the affected site. The impact is limited to confidentiality and integrity with no availability impact. There are no reports of active exploitation.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider additional input validation or security plugins that can help mitigate XSS risks. Avoid granting unnecessary privileges to reduce the attack surface.
