CVE-2025-1757: WordPress Portfolio Builder – Portfolio Gallery <= 1.1.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode
First published: Fri Feb 28 2025(Updated: )
The WordPress Portfolio Builder – Portfolio Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'pfhub_portfolio' and 'pfhub_portfolio_portfolio' shortcodes in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
