CVE-2025-23900

CVE-2025-23900 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-352, in the Genkisan Genki Announcement WordPress plugin (genki-announcement). It affects all versions from n/a through 1.4.1. 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 high severity due to its network accessibility, low attack complexity, lack of required privileges, user interaction dependency, and cross-scope impact with low confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects. The issue was published on 2025-01-16.

Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) can exploit this CSRF flaw over the network (AV:N) by tricking authenticated users into performing unintended actions, such as submitting malicious requests via a forged webpage or link that requires user interaction (UI:R), like clicking a button. Successful exploitation changes scope (S:C) and enables limited impacts: low-level compromise of confidentiality (C:L), integrity (I:L), and availability (A:L), potentially allowing unauthorized modifications or data exposure within the plugin's context.
