Security Summary

CVE-2025-27321 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Blighty Explorer WordPress plugin (blighty-explorer) that enables Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This issue affects all versions from n/a through 2.3.0 and is classified under CWE-352.

The vulnerability can be exploited remotely by unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), though it requires user interaction (UI:R). Exploitation occurs over the network (AV:N) and changes scope (S:C), potentially resulting in low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), as reflected in its CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1. Attackers can leverage the CSRF to inject and store malicious scripts via XSS.
