Security Summary
CVE-2025-27332 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the WordPress plugin Smart Maintenance & Countdown by gmnazmul, which enables Stored XSS. The issue affects all versions of the plugin up to and including 1.2. It has been assigned 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) and maps to CWE-352.
The vulnerability can be exploited by unauthenticated attackers over the network with low complexity, requiring only user interaction such as a victim visiting a malicious site. Exploitation via CSRF allows attackers to trick authenticated administrators into performing unintended actions that store XSS payloads on the site. Successful attacks result in low-impact confidentiality, integrity, and availability effects with a changed scope, potentially leading to script execution in the context of other users viewing the affected page.
