CVE-2025-0215 is a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin for WordPress. It affects all versions up to and including 1.24.12 due to improper neutralization of input in the 'showdata' and 'initiate_restore' parameters. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute when an admin user interacts with a malicious link. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, user interaction required, scope changed, and low impact on confidentiality and integrity, with no impact on availability.

Successful exploitation can lead to execution of arbitrary scripts in the context of an admin user’s browser session, potentially allowing theft of sensitive information or session tokens and limited manipulation of the affected web application. The vulnerability does not impact availability and requires user interaction. There are no known active exploits reported.
