A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability was discovered in OTWthemes Widgetize Pages Light WordPress plugin, identified as CVE-2025-58805. The vulnerability affects versions through 3.0 of the plugin and was disclosed on September 5, 2025. The vulnerability was discovered by security researcher Que Thanh Tuan from Blue Rock and was initially reported on June 27, 2025 (Patchstack).

The vulnerability is classified as an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation (CWE-79) issue. It received a CVSS v3.1 base score of 5.9 (Medium) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. The vulnerability requires administrator-level privileges to exploit (Patchstack).

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow a malicious actor to inject malicious scripts, including redirects, advertisements, and other HTML payloads into the website. These injected scripts would be executed when visitors access the affected site (Patchstack).

The vulnerability requires administrator or higher level privileges to exploit, which significantly reduces its potential impact. The software is considered abandoned as it hasn't received updates for over a year, increasing the risk for sites still using the vulnerable versions (Patchstack).

As there is no official fix available for this vulnerability, the recommended solution is to remove and replace the software with an alternative solution. It's worth noting that simply deactivating the software does not remove the security threat unless a virtual patch is deployed (Patchstack).
