What is CVE-2025-9856?
The Popup Builder plugin for WordPress is susceptible to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability via its 'sg_popup' shortcode across all versions up to 4.4.1. This flaw arises from inadequate sanitization of user input and failing to properly escape output. Consequently, authenticated attackers with contributor-level access can inject malicious scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever users visit the compromised page, potentially leading to unauthorized actions and data exposure.
