Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in bhoogterp Scheduled scheduled allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Scheduled: from n/a through <= 1.0.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the bhoogterp Scheduled plugin allows attackers to trick authenticated users into performing unintended actions that result in Stored XSS. The lack of anti-CSRF tokens on sensitive endpoints enables attackers to inject malicious scripts that persist and execute when other users view affected content.

MitigationImplement anti-CSRF tokens on all state-changing endpoints and validate/sanitize all user inputs to prevent XSS injection.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify bhoogterp Scheduled plugin is installed
    Access your WordPress admin panel, navigate to Plugins > Installed Plugins, and search for 'bhoogterp Scheduled' or 'Scheduled' plugin. Note the installed version displayed.
    Affected if The plugin named 'bhoogterp Scheduled' is present in the plugins list.
  2. Compare installed version against affected range
    Since no specific version range was provided, check the plugin's version number from the plugins page and monitor the WordPress plugin repository or vendor advisories for the specific vulnerable version range.
    Affected if Your installed version matches or falls within any vulnerable version range announced for CVE-2025-31375.
  3. Inspect plugin admin forms for CSRF token presence
    Navigate to the plugin settings pages in the WordPress admin. View the HTML source of any forms that perform state-changing actions (add/edit/delete scheduled tasks). Look for a hidden input field containing an 'nonce' or 'token' parameter.
    Affected if State-changing forms in the plugin lack a CSRF protection token/nonce field.
  4. Test input fields for XSS vulnerability
    Access the plugin's input fields (such as task names, descriptions, or schedule parameters). Attempt to inject a benign script tag like <script>alert('test')</script> into text inputs and save the form. Then view the saved content.
    Affected if Injected script content is stored and rendered without sanitization when viewing the scheduled task.

You are affected if the bhoogterp Scheduled plugin is installed, your version is within the vulnerable range, and the plugin lacks CSRF tokens on sensitive endpoints allowing stored XSS injection.
