CVE-2025-13988
评论小秘书 <= 1.3.2 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']
Description
The 评论小秘书 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']` variable in all versions up to, and including, 1.3.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the `$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']` variable in the plugin's settings page. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: ????? de thobian, Description: El plugin ????? para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting reflejado a través de la variable '$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']' en todas las versiones hasta la 1.3.2, inclusive. Esto se debe a una sanitización de entrada insuficiente y a un escape de salida en la variable '$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']' en la página de configuración del plugin. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutan si logran engañar con éxito a un usuario para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace. -
