CVE-2025-4420: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in themehunk Vayu Blocks – Website Builder for the Block Editor
The Vayu Blocks – Gutenberg Blocks for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘containerWidth’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.1 due to a missing capability check on the vayu_blocks_option_panel_callback() function and insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 Vayu Blocks plugin for WordPress and WooCommerce is vulnerable to stored cross-site scripting via the 'containerWidth' parameter due to missing capability checks and inadequate input sanitization in the vayu_blocks_option_panel_callback() function. This allows authenticated users with low-level privileges (Subscriber and above) to inject arbitrary scripts that execute in the context of other users viewing the injected pages. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 1.3.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, low privileges required, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No patch or vendor advisory is currently provided, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Subscriber-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages. This can lead to unauthorized disclosure of information and modification of data within the affected site context. There is no indication of availability impact. The vulnerability could be leveraged to compromise user sessions or perform actions on behalf of other users, but only within the scope of the affected WordPress site.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict user roles and capabilities to trusted users only, and consider disabling or removing the Vayu Blocks plugin if possible. Monitor for updates from themehunk regarding a security patch addressing this vulnerability.
