CVE-2025-11160 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the WPBakery Page Builder plugin for WordPress, specifically in versions up to and including 8.6.1. This flaw stems from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping within the Custom JS module. An authenticated attacker with contributor-level access or higher can inject malicious web scripts into pages, which will execute when a user views the compromised page through the WPBakery editor. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.4 (Medium), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity, requiring user interaction, and resulting in low impact to confidentiality and integrity. While the EPSS score is low, suggesting a low probability of exploitation, the FAUCET Risk Score is 42/100. Currently, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available on platforms like Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, consistent with the majority of reported vulnerabilities.
