CVE-2025-1777: CWE-862 Missing Authorization in SeaTheme BM Content Builder
The BM Content Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data to a missing capability check on the 'ux_cb_page_options_save' function in all versions up to, and including, 3.16.2.1. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The BM Content Builder plugin for WordPress suffers from a missing authorization (CWE-862) vulnerability in the 'ux_cb_page_options_save' function. This allows authenticated users with low privileges (subscriber-level and above) to modify data without proper capability checks, leading to arbitrary script injection in pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 3.16.2.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, scope change, and low confidentiality and integrity impacts.
Potential Impact
Exploitation allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute when any user accesses the compromised pages, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) scenarios that can affect confidentiality and integrity of user data. There is no impact on availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or vendor advisory is currently available for this vulnerability. Patch status is not yet confirmed — users should monitor the SeaTheme vendor advisories and update the BM Content Builder plugin promptly once a fix is released. Until then, consider restricting subscriber-level user capabilities or limiting plugin usage to trusted users only to reduce risk.
