CVE-2025-7501: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in wonderplugin Wonder Slider
The Wonder Slider Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via image title and description DOM in all versions up to, and including, 14.4 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
CVE-2025-7501 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the Wonder Slider Lite WordPress plugin. The flaw exists due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of image title and description fields, enabling authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who access the injected pages, potentially leading to session hijacking or other script-based attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 14.4. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges, no user interaction, scope change, and limited confidentiality and integrity impact.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via image titles and descriptions. These scripts execute in the browsers of users who visit the affected pages, potentially compromising user sessions or performing unauthorized actions within the context of the victim's privileges. The vulnerability does not impact availability. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available for this vulnerability. Users should monitor the vendor's advisory channels for updates. In the meantime, limit Contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling the Wonder Slider Lite plugin if feasible. Applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block suspicious script injections may provide temporary mitigation.
