CVE-2025-24549Network attack vector

Cross-site scripting via missing nonce verification

Published Jan 31, 2025 · Updated May 11, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in Mahbubur Rahman Post Meta 1.0.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts through a forged settings request. The affected settings-handling function accepts attacker-controlled content without valid nonce verification. The CNA labels the result reflected XSS, while Wordfence describes settings-backed stored XSS; both require an administrator to act on a crafted request.
