Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
CVE-2025-23745 affects the WordPress Call me Now plugin through version 1.0.5. A victim can be tricked into causing a stored cross-site scripting change. That could let malicious script persist in the site and affect users who later view the impacted content.
Executive priority
Treat as a high-priority WordPress plugin exposure. It is not confirmed exploited in the provided sources, but stored XSS can create persistent business risk on public websites. Prioritize inventory and removal or update decisions.
Technical view
The public record describes a CSRF issue leading to stored XSS in Tussendoor B.V. Call me Now, package call-me-now, through version 1.0.5. CVSS 3.1 is 7.1 with network attack vector, low complexity, no privileges, and user interaction required.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to WordPress sites with the Call me Now plugin installed at version 1.0.5 or earlier. Risk is higher where administrators remain authenticated while browsing untrusted content.
Exploitation context
The provided sources do not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation. Exploitation requires user interaction and appears to rely on CSRF to store XSS content. Public exploit maturity is not established in the source bundle.
Researcher notes
Evidence is concise and vendor-specific. The key uncertainty is remediation status; the source bundle names affected versions but does not name a fixed release. Avoid assuming broader WordPress impact beyond this plugin and version range.
Mitigation direction
- Inventory WordPress sites for Call me Now plugin version 1.0.5 or earlier.
- Check vendor, WordPress plugin, and Patchstack guidance for a fixed version.
- If no fixed version is available, disable or remove the plugin.
- Limit administrative sessions and avoid browsing untrusted sites while authenticated.
- Monitor affected sites for unauthorized plugin configuration or content changes.
Validation and detection
- Confirm whether the call-me-now plugin is installed and enabled.
- Record installed plugin versions across production and staging sites.
- Review Patchstack and CVE records for any updated remediation guidance.
- Inspect affected sites for unexpected stored content or plugin setting changes.
- Check security monitoring for suspicious administrator-initiated changes.

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
