At a glance
CVE-2025-32300 is a medium-severity Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in the DZS Video Gallery WordPress plugin, affecting versions <= 12.39. It carries a CVSS score of 6.1 (reachable over the network; low attack complexity). Exploitation requires no authentication. The issue is fixed in version 12.40; sites on affected versions should update now. Disclosed May 2025, reported by Tran Nguyen Bao Khanh.
Vulnerability Overview
The DZS Video Gallery plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 12.39 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
Technical Analysis
The vector marks this flaw as remotely reachable over the network, with low attack complexity — no special timing or configuration is needed, and no privileges on the target site.
CWE-79: Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')
Reaching this weakness in DZS Video Gallery <= 12.39 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. Cross-site scripting happens when input from a request is written into a page without being escaped for the context it lands in, so the browser parses attacker-supplied text as markup or script.
Injected script runs with the privileges of whoever views the affected page, which is how these flaws turn into administrator session theft, silent account creation or persistent backdoors in page content. For DZS Video Gallery the fix is 12.40: builds <= 12.39 are affected, anything from 12.40 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 12.40, or a newer patched version
How does WordSec protect against this?
The attempt arrives as an ordinary request to DZS Video Gallery: WordSec's web application firewall inspects request payloads before WordPress loads them. None of that substitutes for the fix: DZS Video Gallery 12.40 closes this, and updating the plugin is the step that ends it.
