CVE-2025-23662

CVE-2025-23662 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the ryscript WP Panoramio (wp-panoramio) WordPress plugin that allows Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This issue affects WP Panoramio versions from n/a through 1.5.0 and is associated with CWE-352. The vulnerability 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 complexity, no required privileges, user interaction, changed scope, and low impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) can exploit the CSRF flaw to trick authenticated users—such as WordPress administrators or editors—into submitting malicious requests that store XSS payloads on the site. Exploitation requires user interaction (UI:R), typically via a crafted link or form on a malicious site, leading to persistent script execution for subsequent visitors. This enables limited data theft, site defacement, or session hijacking, with elevated scope (S:C) due to cross-origin effects.

Advisories, including the Patchstack database entry (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/wp-panoramio/vulnerability/wordpress-wp-panoramio-plugin-1-5-0-csrf-to-cross-site-scripting-vulnerability?_s_id=cve), provide details on the vulnerability for mitigation guidance.
