CVE-2025-11160

The WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the Custom JS module in all versions up to, and including, 8.6.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied JavaScript code in the Custom JS module. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page via the WPBakery Page Builder Custom JS module granted they have access to the WPBakery editor for post types.

Summary		(es) El plugin WPBakery Page Builder para WordPress es vulnerable a Cross-Site Scripting Almacenado a través del módulo Custom JS en todas las versiones hasta e incluyendo la 8.6.1. Esto se debe a una sanitización de entrada insuficiente y un escape de salida insuficiente del código JavaScript proporcionado por el usuario en el módulo Custom JS. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados con acceso de nivel de colaborador o superior inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada a través del módulo Custom JS de WPBakery Page Builder, siempre que tengan acceso al editor de WPBakery para tipos de publicación.
