CVE-2020-11025
Status: ModifiedMedium (5.4)—
In affected versions of WordPress, a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the navigation section of Customizer allows JavaScript code to be executed. Exploitation requires an authenticated user. This has been patched in version 5.4.1, along with all the previously affected versions via a minor release (5.3.3, 5.2.6, 5.1.5, 5.0.9, 4.9.14, 4.8.13, 4.7.17, 4.6.18, 4.5.21, 4.4.22, 4.3.23, 4.2.27, 4.1.30, 4.0.30, 3.9.31, 3.8.33, 3.7.33).
CVSS
- Version: 3.1
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N
- Base score: 5.4
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.53%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 74
- Score date: 10/8/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
