CVE-2025-23481

CVE-2025-23481 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) as classified under CWE-79. It affects the Ni WooCommerce Sales Report Email WordPress plugin, developed by Anzar Ahmed, in all versions from n/a through 3.1.4. The issue was published on 2025-03-03.

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), indicating network accessibility, low attack complexity, no required privileges, and user interaction such as clicking a malicious link. Unauthenticated attackers can exploit it by crafting inputs that are reflected unsanitized on web pages, executing arbitrary scripts in the browser of targeted users, typically site administrators. This leads to low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with a changed scope that could extend effects to other users or sessions via the victim's context.
