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-2025-23435/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23435/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-23435","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23435/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-23435","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-29pf-2r42-58qj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via CSRF, leading to stored XSS and potential account takeover in WordPress sites using this plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in marcucci Password Protect Plugin for WordPress password-protect-plugin-for-wordpress allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Password Protect Plugin for WordPress: from n/a through \u003c= 0.8.1.0.","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 Password Protect Plugin for WordPress plugin \u003c= 0.8.1.0 - CSRF to Stored XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23435","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Wp-Scribd-List plugin \u003c= 1.2 - CSRF to XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23436"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Easy EU Cookie law plugin \u003c= 1.3.3.1 - Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23434"},"products":["Password Protect Plugin for WordPress"],"published":"2025-01-16","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["marcucci"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via CSRF, leading to stored XSS and potential account takeover in WordPress sites using this plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23435/"}
