CVE-2025-9080: Bdevs Generic Elements

Medium severity, CVSS 6.4. EPSS: 0.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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.

Affected products

• Bdevs Generic Elements: up to and including 1.2.8
