What is CVE-2025-9034?

The Wp Edit Password Protected plugin, prior to version 1.3.5, contains a vulnerability that allows an attacker to exploit how the plugin handles user redirection. By failing to properly validate redirect parameters, the plugin can be coerced into redirecting users to arbitrary external sites. This could potentially lead to phishing attacks, compromising user credentials or sensitive information. It is essential for users of this plugin to upgrade to the latest version to mitigate this security risk.
