CVE-2025-8567: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in posimyththemes Nexter Blocks – Gutenberg Blocks, Page Builder & AI Website Builder
The Nexter Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widgets in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.4 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
The Nexter Blocks plugin for WordPress suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation. Authenticated attackers with contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary JavaScript into pages via multiple widgets because user input is not properly sanitized or escaped. This vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.5.4. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (medium severity), with network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges, no user interaction, and impacts confidentiality and integrity with no impact on availability. No patch or remediation details are provided in the available data.
Potential Impact
An attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject persistent malicious scripts into pages, which execute in the context of users viewing those pages. This can lead to unauthorized actions, data disclosure, or session hijacking affecting the confidentiality and integrity of user data. There is no indication of availability impact. No known active exploitation has been reported.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level access to trusted users only and consider removing or disabling vulnerable widgets. Monitor for updates from posimyththemes regarding patches or official mitigations.
