Overview

The Magic Edge – Lite plugin for WordPress contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability (CVE-2025-8391) in versions up to and including 1.1.6.

The flaw exists in the MagicEdgeFrontend.php file where the 'height' parameter is not properly sanitized before being stored and displayed (Wordfence).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with Contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These malicious scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the compromised page, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and data theft (NVD).
