Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-23748 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, affecting the Singsys Awesome Gallery WordPress plugin (awesome-gallery-singsys). The issue impacts all versions from n/a through 1.0 and was published on 2025-02-14.

The vulnerability has 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), indicating exploitation over the network by an unauthenticated attacker with low complexity, requiring user interaction. An attacker can craft a malicious input that reflects back in the web page generation process, executing arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser context upon interaction, such as clicking a phishing link, potentially leading to limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability due to the changed scope.
