Deeper analysis
CVE-2025-32528 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability arising from improper neutralization of input during web page generation. It affects the iCal Feeds WordPress plugin (ical-feeds) maintained by maximevalette, impacting all versions through 1.5.3. The flaw is tracked under CWE-79 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1.
An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit the issue by supplying a crafted URL that is reflected back to a victim user who follows the link. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary script in the victim's browser context, resulting in limited impacts to confidentiality, integrity, and availability with a changed scope.
The sole advisory reference points to a Patchstack entry that catalogs the reflected XSS issue in the plugin but does not detail specific patch instructions or mitigation steps beyond the version constraint. The associated EPSS score remains low, moving only from 0.0067 to a peak of 0.0111 with no indication of material post-disclosure interest.
