Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-23427 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) as classified under CWE-79. It affects the Redux Converter WordPress plugin developed by David Anderson / Team Updraft, with the issue present in all versions from n/a through 1.1.3.1.

The vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requiring no privileges (PR:N) but user interaction (UI:R). Exploitation changes scope (S:C) and results in low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), yielding a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1.
