CVE-2025-9080

Impact

The Generic Elements plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via multiple widget fields in version 1.2.8 and earlier. This is 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.
