CVE-2025-32632

WordPress Automatic Ban IP Plugin <= 1.0.7 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability

Published Apr 11, 2025 CVSS 3.1 · 7.1 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed

Description

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in KaizenCoders Automatic Ban IP automatic-ban-ip allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Automatic Ban IP: from n/a through <= 1.0.7.

Analysis

Technical impact

The vulnerability is an improper neutralization of user input during web page generation in the KaizenCoders Automatic Ban IP WordPress plugin, which allows attackers to craft a payload that is reflected back into the page and executed in the victim’s browser. This flaw enables the execution of arbitrary client‑side code but does not directly affect server‑side logic or WordPress core functionality.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have installed KaizenCoders Automatic Ban IP version 1.0.7 or earlier are affected. The plugin, used to block IP addresses, contains the insecure input handling for all releases up to and including 1.0.7.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates high severity. The EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low current exploitation probability, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is remote over HTTP: any visitor to a crafted URL can trigger the reflected XSS without authentication, as the vulnerable parameter is echoed directly into the response.

Affected Products

Default status is the baseline for the product, each version can override it (e.g. patched versions marked unaffected).

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

Upgrade the Automatic Ban IP plugin to a version newer than 1.0.7 that fixes the reflected XSS flaw.

As a temporary measure, configure a web application firewall or deploy a WordPress security plugin that sanitizes or blocks malicious script content to mitigate the client‑side risk.
