CVE-2025-23641Network attack vector

Authenticated script execution via DOM-based XSS

Published Jan 16, 2025 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

DOM-based cross-site scripting in PowieT Powie's pLinks PagePeeker 1.0.2 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute scripts. The public CNA record and referenced advisory do not identify the client-side locus or the untrusted value written into the DOM. Exploitation requires low-privileged access and user interaction, and successful execution runs attacker-controlled script in the affected viewer's browser context.
