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-2025-23842 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Nilesh Shiragave WordPress Gallery Plugin. 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-2025-23842/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23842/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-23842","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23842/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-23842","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x8fg-5cvf-qg6q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick users into triggering actions that lead to stored XSS, compromising site integrity and user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"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 Nilesh Shiragave WordPress Gallery Plugin wordpress-gallery-plugin allows Cross Site Request Forgery.This issue affects WordPress Gallery Plugin: from n/a through \u003c= 1.4.","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 WordPress Gallery Plugin plugin \u003c= 1.4 - CSRF to Stored XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23842","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress WP-HR Manager plugin \u003c= 3.1.0 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23843"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Top Flash Embed plugin \u003c= 0.3.4 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-23841"},"products":["WordPress Gallery Plugin"],"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":"2026-05-11","vendors":["Nilesh Shiragave"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick users into triggering actions that lead to stored XSS, compromising site integrity and user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-23842/"}
