Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-67930 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (CWE-79), in the Vernon Systems Limited eHive Search (ehive-search) WordPress plugin. This issue affects eHive Search versions from n/a through 2.5.0. The vulnerability has 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 network accessibility, low attack complexity, no required privileges, user interaction dependency, changed scope, and low impacts across confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Unauthenticated remote attackers can exploit this vulnerability by crafting malicious input that is reflected in web page generation without proper neutralization. Exploitation requires a victim to interact, such as by visiting a maliciously crafted link or page, enabling the attacker to inject and execute arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser context.

Patchstack's advisory documents the Cross-site Scripting vulnerability in the WordPress eHive Search plugin up to version 2.5.0, providing details on the issue in its vulnerability database.
