CVE-2025-3458: Ocean Extra <= 2.4.6 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'ocean_gallery_id'
First published: Tue Apr 22 2025(Updated: )
The Ocean Extra plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'ocean_gallery_id’ parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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. The Classic Editor plugin must be installed and activated to exploit the vulnerability.
