CVE-2025-9540
The Markup Markdown WordPress plugin before 3.20.10 allows links to contain JavaScript which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.23%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
