CVE-2025-6687: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in rexdot Magic Buttons for Elementor
The Magic Buttons for Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's magic-button shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'icon' 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The Magic Buttons for Elementor plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the 'icon' attribute of the magic-button shortcode. This allows authenticated users with contributor-level or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts execute in the context of any user who views the injected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 1.0. The CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4 reflects a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, privileges required, no user interaction, and impact on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or official fix is currently documented.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via the 'icon' attribute of the magic-button shortcode. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the compromised pages, potentially allowing theft of sensitive information or unauthorized actions within the context of the victim's session. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity but does not affect availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only to reduce the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the vulnerable shortcode with untrusted input. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
