CVE-2025-8391: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in awssoft Magic Edge – Lite
The Magic Edge – Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘height’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.6 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-2025-8391 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the Magic Edge – Lite WordPress plugin by awssoft affecting all versions up to 1.1.6. The vulnerability is due to improper neutralization of input in the 'height' parameter, allowing authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute in the context of users who visit the injected pages, potentially leading to information disclosure or session hijacking. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.4, reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, required privileges at the contributor level, no user interaction, and impacts on confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No known exploits in the wild have been reported. A patch is available to remediate this issue.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows authenticated contributors or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the browsers of users who view those pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity impacts, such as theft of user data or unauthorized actions performed on behalf of users. There is no impact on system availability. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users of the Magic Edge – Lite plugin should update to the latest version beyond 1.1.6 to remediate the stored XSS issue. Applying the official patch is the recommended mitigation. No additional vendor advisory details are provided, so check the vendor’s official channels for the latest patch and update instructions.
