Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-24565 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, in the WP2LEADS WordPress plugin developed by Saleswonder Team: Tobias. The flaw affects all versions of the WP2LEADS plugin from n/a through 3.3.3, allowing malicious input to be reflected without proper neutralization during web page generation.

The vulnerability carries 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 it is exploitable over the network with low attack complexity by unauthenticated attackers requiring user interaction, such as clicking a malicious link. Exploitation enables script execution in the context of the victim's browser, resulting in low impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, with a changed scope that may affect additional resources.

Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match
prevent

Information Output Filtering directly neutralizes reflected malicious input before rendering in web pages, preventing XSS script execution in victims' browsers.

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Information Input Validation rejects or sanitizes untrusted inputs containing XSS payloads before processing in the WP2LEADS plugin.

SI-2 Flaw Remediation good match
prevent

Flaw Remediation requires timely patching of the specific improper neutralization flaw in WP2LEADS versions through 3.3.3.
