An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-25785 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Shoaib Saleem WP Post Rating. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-25785/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-25785/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-25785","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-25785/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-25785","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-869x-r3wf-gpjw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can manipulate post ratings without proper authorization, compromising data integrity in WordPress sites using the WP Post Rating plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in Shoaib Saleem WP Post Rating allows Functionality Misuse.This issue affects WP Post Rating: from n/a through 2.5.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress WP Post Rating plugin \u003c= 2.5 - Vote Manipulation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-25785","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Eyes Only: User Access Shortcode Plugin \u003c= 1.8.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-25786"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Sticky Ad Bar Plugin \u003c= 1.3.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-25784"},"products":["WP Post Rating"],"published":"2024-04-24","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Shoaib Saleem"]},"summary":"Attackers can manipulate post ratings without proper authorization, compromising data integrity in WordPress sites using the WP Post Rating plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-25785/"}
