CVE-2025-23456 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Oddthinking EmailShroud WordPress plugin that allows Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This issue affects EmailShroud versions from n/a through <= 2.2.1 and is associated with CWE-352.

The vulnerability carries 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). Any network-based attacker without privileges can exploit it by tricking an authenticated user into performing an unintended action via a forged request, requiring user interaction such as clicking a malicious link. Successful exploitation enables reflected XSS, resulting in low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability with a changed scope.
