CVE-2025-12416
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
The Pagerank Tools plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Cross-Site Request Forgery in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.5. This is due to missing nonce validation on the pr_save_settings() function and insufficient input sanitization. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts via a forged request granted they can trick a site administrator into performing an action such as clicking on a link. The injected scripts will execute whenever a user accesses the plugin's settings page.

"value": "El plugin Pagerank Tools para WordPress es vulnerable a cross-site scripting almacenado a través de Cross-Site Request Forgery en todas las versiones hasta la 1.1.5, inclusive. Esto se debe a la falta de validación de nonce en la función pr_save_settings() y a una sanitización de entrada insuficiente. Esto hace posible que atacantes no autenticados inyecten scripts web maliciosos a través de una petición falsificada, siempre que puedan engañar a un administrador del sitio para que realice una acción como hacer clic en un enlace. Los scripts inyectados se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a la página de configuración del plugin."
