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-2025-43840 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ref CheckBot. 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-2025-43840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43840/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f6vc-5hqq-c3x2"],"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":"A CSRF vulnerability in the CheckBot WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject stored XSS payloads, potentially compromising user sessions and site integrity.","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 ref CheckBot checkbot allows Stored XSS.This issue affects CheckBot: from n/a through \u003c= 1.05.","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 CheckBot plugin \u003c= 1.05 - CSRF to Stored XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-43840","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 Vegas plugin \u003c= 2.2 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-43841"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress BP Messages Tool plugin \u003c= 2.2 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-43839"},"products":["CheckBot"],"published":"2025-05-19","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":["ref"]},"summary":"A CSRF vulnerability in the CheckBot WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject stored XSS payloads, potentially compromising user sessions and site integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43840/"}
