Deeper analysis
CVE-2026-25376 is an Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation vulnerability, enabling Reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS) as classified under CWE-79. It affects the eyecix Addon Jobsearch Chat WordPress plugin, with the issue present in versions from n/a through 3.0 inclusive. The vulnerability was published on 2026-03-25.
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 network accessibility, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and user interaction needed. Remote attackers can exploit it by tricking authenticated or unauthenticated users into interacting with malicious input, such as clicking a crafted link, leading to reflected XSS execution in the victim's browser. This allows limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability with a changed scope, potentially enabling session hijacking or data exfiltration.
