CVE-2023-6970

27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2023-6970 describes a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 9.1.0. This flaw stems from insufficient input sanitization of the 'Referer' header, allowing unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious web scripts. With a CVSS score of 6.1 (Medium), exploitation requires user interaction, such as clicking a crafted link, and can lead to limited impact on confidentiality and integrity. While no active exploitation or KEV listing is reported, Nuclei templates exist, and despite a high FAUCET Risk Score, there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
