Last modified
CVE-2025-7431 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 4.4/10 on the CVSS scale. The Knowledge Base plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin slug setting in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level access, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
