Published: Thu Jul 24 2025 (07/24/2025, 03:39:04 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: wpbakery
Product: WPBakery Page Builder

Description

The WPBakery Page Builder for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple Page Builder elements (Copyright Element, Hover Box, Separator With Text, FAQ, Single Image, Custom Header, Button, Call To Action, Progress Bar, Pie Chart, Round Chart, and Line Chart) in all versions up to, and including, 8.4.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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-2025-4968 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in WPBakery Page Builder for WordPress, affecting all versions up to 8.4.1. The issue stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input in several page builder elements, including Copyright Element, Hover Box, Separator With Text, FAQ, Single Image, Custom Header, Button, Call To Action, Progress Bar, Pie Chart, Round Chart, and Line Chart. Authenticated attackers with contributor-level privileges or higher can exploit this flaw to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-79 and has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N). There is no information about an available patch or vendor advisory in the provided data.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or above to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages created with WPBakery Page Builder. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who view the infected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure and integrity impacts. The vulnerability does not affect availability. The CVSS score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with low complexity and no user interaction required for exploitation once the malicious content is injected.

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 use of the vulnerable page builder elements. Monitor for updates from WPBakery regarding patches or official mitigations.
