WordPress vulnerability analysis and mitigation

Overview

The Magical Blocks WordPress plugin contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-31844. This security flaw affects versions up to and including 1.0.10 of the plugin. The vulnerability was discovered and publicly disclosed on April 1, 2025, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts (WPScan, Patchstack).

Technical details

The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the Magical Blocks plugin. It has been classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). The CVSS v3.1 score is 6.5 (Medium) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L (NVD).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page. The stored nature of the XSS means that the malicious scripts persist in the database and execute for any user viewing the affected page (WPScan).

Mitigation and workarounds

Currently, there is no official fix available for this vulnerability. Users of the Magical Blocks plugin version 1.0.10 or earlier should consider either removing the plugin or implementing additional security controls to restrict access to contributor-level users (Patchstack).
