Security Summary

CVE-2025-23715 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the RaymondDesign Post & Page Notes WordPress plugin (post-page-notes) that enables Stored XSS. This issue affects all versions of the plugin from its initial release through 0.1.1.

The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) over the network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), requiring user interaction (UI:R) such as visiting a malicious site while authenticated to the WordPress site. Exploitation changes the scope (S:C) and allows attackers to inject and store malicious scripts via XSS, resulting in low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), with an overall CVSS v3.1 score of 7.1.
