What is CVE-2025-3650?
The jQuery Colorbox plugin for WordPress, up to version 4.6.3, contains a vulnerability that allows users with contributor-level permissions to carry out Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This occurs because the plugin fails to sanitize title attributes on links before rendering them, potentially enabling an attacker to inject malicious scripts that could compromise the security of site administrators. Proper sanitization and validation measures are critical to protect against this type of exploitation.
Affected Version(s)
