Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-24544 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) and classified under CWE-79. It affects the Bitcoin and Altcoin Wallets plugin from dashed-slug.net, impacting all versions from n/a through 6.3.1. The vulnerability was published on 2025-02-03 with 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).

An unauthenticated attacker with network access can exploit this issue through low-complexity attacks requiring user interaction, such as tricking a site visitor or administrator into following a malicious link or interacting with a crafted request. Successful exploitation results in reflected XSS, allowing script execution in the victim's browser context, with low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability but elevated scope due to cross-origin effects.
