Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-69320 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, classified as Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) under CWE-79, in the ThemeGoods Grand Magazine WordPress theme (grandmagazine). This issue affects Grand Magazine versions from n/a through 3.5.7, as published on 2026-01-22.

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 it is exploitable remotely over the network with low attack complexity and no privileges required, though it requires user interaction. Attackers can trick victims into supplying malicious input, such as via a crafted link or form submission, leading to arbitrary script execution in the victim's browser within a changed scope. This enables potential theft of session data, cookies, or other sensitive information reflected from the site, with low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
