CVE-2025-22685

CVE-2025-22685 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the WordPress plugin Tags to Keywords (tags-to-meta-keywords) by CheGevara29. The flaw enables Stored XSS and affects all versions from n/a through 1.0.1. It is associated with CWE-352 and has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction needed, changed scope, and low impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability by tricking an authenticated user, such as a site administrator, into interacting with a malicious webpage that submits a forged CSRF request to the plugin. This injects a malicious payload resulting in Stored XSS, which persists on the site and executes in the context of other users viewing affected pages.
