This vulnerability was discovered and disclosed on March 21, 2025, affecting the WordPress plugin CryoKey. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping (NVD).

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (CWE-79) issue. It has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 4.7 (Medium) with the following vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N. The vulnerability exists in the plugin's handling of the 'ckemail' parameter, where proper input validation and output escaping mechanisms are not implemented (NVD).

Impact

The vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when users perform specific actions, such as clicking on a malicious link. This could lead to the theft of sensitive information or manipulation of the user's browsing session (NVD).

Mitigation and workarounds

Users are advised to update their CryoKey plugin to a version newer than 2.4 if available, or consider removing the plugin if updates are not available. The plugin has been temporarily closed as of March 18, 2025, pending a full security review (WordPress Plugin).
