Published: 11 March 2025
Description
Adversaries may take advantage of security vulnerabilities and inherent functionality in browser software to change content, modify user-behaviors, and intercept information as part of various browser session hijacking techniques.
Security Summary
CVE-2025-28923, published on 2025-03-11, is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability classified under CWE-352 in the WordPress plugin "No Disposable Email" developed by philippe. The flaw enables Stored XSS and affects all versions of the plugin from unknown initial release through 2.5.1. It carries 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), reflecting network-based exploitation with low complexity, no required privileges, user interaction, and scope change leading to low impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Attackers can exploit this vulnerability without authentication by crafting a malicious webpage that tricks a logged-in user, typically a site administrator, into submitting a forged request to the plugin's endpoint via user interaction such as clicking a link or loading an image. Successful CSRF triggers Stored XSS, allowing attackers to inject and persist malicious scripts on the WordPress site, which execute in victims' browsers upon page access, potentially enabling session hijacking, data theft, or further attacks on site visitors.
