CVE-2025-47493: Ultimate Blocks plugin can let attackers inject malicious code

CVE-2025-47493 · published 1 year ago
Summary

Versions of the Ultimate Blocks WordPress plugin up to 3.2.9 do not properly clean data before showing it on a page, which allows a malicious person to add harmful script code that runs in visitors' browsers. This could let an attacker steal login information or perform actions on behalf of users. Update the plugin to the latest version that fixes the problem, or apply the vendor’s recommended patch, and review any custom content for unexpected script code.
