CVE-2026-120533 Details
Description
The Redux Framework plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via theme_opts Parameter via User Profile in all versions up to, and including, 4.5.16 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. Successful exploitation requires the host theme to have registered a Redux field of a CSS-emitting type (such as link_color, border, or typography) with an output CSS selector, as only the field types 'spinner', 'slider', 'color', and 'date' receive per-type value validation that would block the entity-encoded payload.
A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability has been identified in the Redux Framework plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions through 4.5.16. The issue arises from inadequate input sanitization and output escaping, allowing authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts into pages. These scripts execute when a user accesses the compromised page. Exploitation requires the host theme to have a registered Redux field of a CSS-emitting type, such as link_color, border, or typography, with an output CSS selector. This is because only certain field types receive validation that could prevent the injection of encoded payloads.
Users are advised to update the Redux Framework plugin to version 4.5.17 or a newer patched version.
