CVE-2014-125105 describes a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Broken Link Checker Plugin for WordPress, affecting versions up to 1.10.1. Specifically, the flaw exists in the options_page function within the core/core.php file, where improper handling of the exclusion_list/blc_custom_fields arguments allows for remote manipulation. This vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.1 (Medium), indicating it can be exploited over the network with low attack complexity, requiring user interaction, and potentially leading to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. The EPSS score is very low, suggesting a minimal likelihood of exploitation in the wild. There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are also negligible, indicating a low level of public awareness or concern. Upgrading to version 1.10.2 addresses this issue.
