Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-23799 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 tubegtld .TUBE Video Curator plugin (tube-video-curator) for WordPress, impacting all versions from n/a through 1.1.9.

The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.1 (High) with the vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L. Remote attackers require no privileges and can exploit it over the network with low attack complexity, though it demands user interaction such as clicking a malicious link. Exploitation enables limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with a changed scope that may affect other users or components.
