Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-69390 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 Business Template Blocks for WPBakery (Visual Composer) Page Builder plugin, known as templates-and-addons-for-wpbakery-page-builder, in all versions from n/a through 1.3.2. The issue was published on 2026-02-20 with 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).
Attackers can exploit this over the network with low complexity and no privileges required, though it needs user interaction such as clicking a malicious link. By crafting a URL with malicious payload that the plugin reflects unsanitized into the generated web page, an attacker executes script in the victim's browser context. With changed scope, this allows low-level impacts including limited access to sensitive data like cookies, minor modifications to page content, or denial of page functionality.

Requires validation of all input (including URL parameters) before it is reflected into generated web pages, directly blocking the unsanitized payload that causes this reflected XSS.
Mandates filtering or encoding of information output by the plugin, neutralizing script content that would otherwise be reflected from attacker-supplied input.
Deploys malicious-code protections that can inspect and block reflected script payloads or detect their execution in the browser context.
