Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-22324 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, in the OZ Canonical WordPress plugin developed by Andon Ivanov. This issue affects the plugin in all versions from n/a through 0.5 inclusive, with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L).

A remote attacker requires no privileges and can exploit the vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity, though user interaction is necessary, such as a victim visiting a crafted URL. Successful exploitation enables script execution in the victim's browser context, potentially compromising low levels of confidentiality, integrity, and availability while changing scope to affect additional resources.
