CVE-2025-5844: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in techlabpro1 Radius Blocks – WordPress Gutenberg Blocks
The Radius Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘subHeadingTagName’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.1 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Radius Blocks plugin for WordPress contains a stored XSS vulnerability due to improper neutralization of input in the 'subHeadingTagName' parameter. This allows authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of users who view the compromised pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.2.1. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no patch or official fix has been documented yet.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can exploit this vulnerability to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages generated by the plugin. This can lead to unauthorized actions performed in the context of other users viewing the injected content, such as theft of session tokens or defacement. The impact is limited by the requirement for authenticated access with at least Contributor privileges. There is no indication of impact on availability or system integrity beyond the XSS scope.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, limit Contributor-level access to trusted users only. Consider disabling or removing the Radius Blocks plugin if possible to prevent exploitation. Monitor official vendor channels for updates or patches addressing this vulnerability.
