Security Summary
CVE-2025-24608 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, in the GD Mail Queue WordPress plugin developed by Milan Petrovic. The issue affects GD Mail Queue versions from n/a through 4.3 inclusive. Published on 2025-01-31, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (High).
The vulnerability can be exploited remotely (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring no privileges (PR:N) but user interaction (UI:R), such as clicking a malicious link, and results in a changed scope (S:C). Attackers without authentication can deliver payloads via reflected inputs, leading to XSS execution in the victim's browser. This enables low-level impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), such as potential session token theft or malicious script injection targeting site users.
