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.

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.
