Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-24616 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) as classified under CWE-79. It affects the UIUX Lab Uix Page Builder (uix-page-builder) WordPress plugin in all versions from n/a through 1.7.3.

The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating it is exploitable remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no privileges required, though user interaction is necessary. Attackers can trick authenticated or unauthenticated users into interacting with malicious input, such as via a crafted link or payload reflected in the web page, allowing script execution in the victim's browser context and achieving low impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability with a changed scope.
