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-2025-46515 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: M A Vinoth Kumar Category Widget. 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-2025-46515/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46515/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-46515","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46515/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-46515","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r9pj-264x-c5c5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the WordPress Category Widget 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-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in M A Vinoth Kumar Category Widget category-widget allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Category Widget: from n/a through \u003c= 2.0.2.","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 Category Widget plugin \u003c= 2.0.2 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46515","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 Twitter Card Generator plugin \u003c= 1.0.5 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) to Stored XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46516"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Milat jQuery Automatic Popup plugin \u003c= 1.3.1 - CSRF to Stored XSS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46514"},"products":["Category Widget"],"published":"2025-05-23","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":["M A Vinoth Kumar"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the WordPress Category Widget plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46515/"}
