CVE-2025-9488: CWE-79 Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') in davidanderson Redux Framework
The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘data’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.8 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
The Redux Framework WordPress plugin versions up to 4.5.8 contain a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) due to improper neutralization of input in the 'data' parameter. Authenticated users with Contributor or higher privileges can inject arbitrary scripts that execute in other users' browsers when viewing the injected pages. This vulnerability can lead to client-side code execution impacting confidentiality and integrity. 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 without availability impact. No patch or vendor advisory is currently provided, and no known exploits have been reported.
Potential Impact
An attacker with Contributor-level or higher access can inject malicious scripts into pages via the 'data' parameter, which execute in the context of other users viewing those pages. This can lead to partial confidentiality and integrity compromise of user data or sessions. There is no impact on availability. The vulnerability affects all versions up to and including 4.5.8 of the Redux Framework plugin. 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 released, limit Contributor-level and higher access to trusted users only. Consider removing or disabling the Redux Framework plugin if feasible. Monitor official channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
