CVE-2025-23668 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 ChatGPT Open AI Images & Content for WooCommerce WordPress plugin (slug: glasses-for-woocommerce) in all versions from n/a through 2.2.0.
The vulnerability has a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (High), with network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), and user interaction needed (UI:R). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit it by crafting a malicious payload in a link or input that, when processed by the plugin during web page generation, reflects and executes arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser context (S:C). This allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:L/I:L/A:L), such as session hijacking or data theft within the site's scope.
