NASA report confirmed, "Earth’s average surface temperature in 2023 was the warmest on record, according to an analysis by NASA." NASA Analysis Confirms 2023 as Warmest Year on Record - NASA

Also, BBC reports, "The year 2023 has been confirmed as the warmest on record, driven by human-caused climate change and boosted by the natural El Niño weather event.2023 confirmed as world's hottest year on record

 In addition, when I search for " what is the warmest year on record?", I find results that only point to 2023.

This claim in this article is not exaggerated and is true.

The WMO report confirmed that 2023 was the warmest year on record, with the global average near-surface temperature at 1.45 °Celsius (with a margin of uncertainty of ± 0.12 °C) above the pre-industrial baseline. It was the warmest ten-year period on record. https://wmo.int/news/media-centre/climate-change-indicators-reached-record-levels-2023-wmo#:~:text=The%20WMO%20report%20confirmed%20that,ten%2Dyear%20period%20on%20record.
