CVE-2025-8462 is a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the RT Easy Builder – Advanced addons for Elementor WordPress plugin. It occurs due to improper neutralization of input in the social URL parameter, enabling authenticated users with Contributor-level privileges or above to inject arbitrary web scripts. These scripts persist in the page content and execute when the page is viewed by other users. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 2.3. The CVSS 3.1 score is 6.4, reflecting a medium severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no user interaction required. The vulnerability impacts confidentiality and integrity but not availability. No patch or vendor advisory is currently provided.

An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject persistent malicious scripts via the social URL parameter. This can lead to unauthorized script execution in the context of users viewing the infected pages, potentially compromising user data confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability does not affect system availability. No known exploits have been reported in the wild to date.
