Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-23800 is a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability, classified under CWE-352, in the OrangeBox WordPress plugin developed by nova706. The issue affects OrangeBox versions from n/a through 3.0.0 and was published on 2025-01-16.

Unauthenticated attackers (PR:N) can exploit this vulnerability over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), though it requires user interaction (UI:R). Successful 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. The vulnerability enables CSRF attacks that lead to stored XSS.
