Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2025-62943 affects the 'Next Page, Not Next Post' WordPress plugin up to version 0.3.0. It is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) issue caused by improper input neutralization during web page generation.

The medium severity score reflects these moderate risks. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider restricting plugin usage to trusted users only and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid exposing the plugin to untrusted users or consider disabling it temporarily if feasible.
