Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-23745 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the Call me Now WordPress plugin by Tussendoor B.V., which enables Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The issue affects the plugin from unknown initial versions through 1.0.5 and is associated with CWE-352.

Attackers require no privileges and can exploit this over the network with low complexity, though user interaction is needed. Per the CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L), exploitation changes scope and yields low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Unauthenticated attackers can forge requests to trick users into injecting and storing XSS payloads, which then execute for subsequent visitors.

The Patchstack advisory provides further details on this WordPress plugin vulnerability, including assessment and recommended actions.
