An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-23569 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Kelvin Ng Shortcode in Comment. 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-2025-23569/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23569/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-23569","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23569/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-23569","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9jg4-fxwc-3f69"],"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":"A CSRF vulnerability in the Shortcode in Comment WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, leading to stored XSS and potential account takeover.","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 Kelvin Ng Shortcode in Comment shortcode-in-comment allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Shortcode in Comment: from n/a through \u003c= 1.1.1.","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 Shortcode in Comment plugin \u003c= 1.1.1 - CSRF to Stored XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23569","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 Social Links plugin \u003c= 0.3.1 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23570"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP Login Attempt Log plugin \u003c= 1.3 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23568"},"products":["Shortcode in Comment"],"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":["Kelvin Ng"]},"summary":"A CSRF vulnerability in the Shortcode in Comment WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, leading to stored XSS and potential account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23569/"}
