Fix and mitigation
WAF and other mitigations
Can a WAF block it? Yes. Cross-site scripting sends script tags or event handlers in the request, which WAF signatures match well.

Common questions
Is CVE-2023-41425 being exploited?
Not confirmed. CVE-2023-41425 does not appear in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which records only exploitation that has been observed and reported publicly. That is evidence of absence of a report, not evidence the flaw is unattacked. EPSS currently estimates a 65% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
How severe is CVE-2023-41425?
CVE-2023-41425 is rated Medium with a CVSS score of 6.1. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.
Is there a patch for CVE-2023-41425?
Not known from our data. No patch reference has been recorded for CVE-2023-41425, which is not the same as no patch existing — a fix may have shipped without a tagged reference, or after this record was written. The vendor advisory is the only authority on whether a fix exists, and mitigations may be available regardless.
What does CVE-2023-41425 affect?
CVE-2023-41425 affects wondercms:wondercms. Confirm the exact affected versions against the vendor advisory before deciding you are exposed.
Exploitation status reflects CISA's KEV catalog as we last synced it. Check the catalog directly.
