What is CVE-2025-3745?

The WP Lightbox 2 plugin for WordPress has a vulnerability that arises from improper sanitization of the title attribute in links. This oversight allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. When a user clicks on the compromised link, the injected script can execute in the context of the user's browser, which might result in session hijacking, data theft, or redirection to malicious websites.

Affected Version(s)

WP Lightbox 2 0 < 3.0.6.8

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
