CVE-2025-6944: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in undsgn Uncode Core
The Uncode Core plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'uncode_hl_text' and 'uncode_text_icon' shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.4.2 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.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2025-6944 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Uncode Core WordPress plugin affecting all versions up to 2.9.4.2. The issue is due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation, specifically in the 'uncode_hl_text' and 'uncode_text_icon' shortcodes. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts via these shortcodes, which execute in the context of users viewing the compromised pages. This vulnerability can lead to limited confidentiality and integrity impacts but does not affect availability.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can exploit this vulnerability to inject malicious scripts that execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages. This can lead to the theft of sensitive information or session tokens (confidentiality impact) and unauthorized modification of displayed content (integrity impact). There is no direct impact on system availability. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or fix is currently available for this vulnerability. Administrators should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. Until a fix is released, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider disabling or removing the affected shortcodes if feasible. Applying strict input validation and output escaping at the application level may help mitigate risk. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
