Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-27323 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Jon Bishop WP About Author. 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-2025-27323/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27323/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-27323","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27323/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-27323","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3qqr-67hg-8c4v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts via DOM-based XSS in the WP About Author plugin, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Jon Bishop WP About Author wp-about-author allows DOM-Based XSS.This issue affects WP About Author: from n/a through \u003c= 1.5.","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 About Author plugin \u003c= 1.5 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-27323","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 17TRACK for WooCommerce Plugin \u003c= 1.2.10 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-27324"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress QR Code for WooCommerce Plugin \u003c= 1.2.0 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-27322"},"products":["WP About Author"],"published":"2025-02-24","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Jon Bishop"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts via DOM-based XSS in the WP About Author plugin, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-27323/"}
