Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-16636 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16636/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16636/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16636","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16636/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16636","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w3pq-253h-3gfp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Bludit CMS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject persistent XSS via unrecognized editor tags to compromise higher-privilege user accounts in Bludit CMS.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bludit","vendor":"bludit"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"In Bludit v1.5.2 and v2.0.1, an XSS vulnerability is located in the new page, new category, and edit post function body message context. Remote attackers are able to bypass the basic editor validation to trigger cross site scripting. The XSS is persistent and the request method to inject via editor is GET. To save the editor context, the followup POST method request must be processed to perform the attack via the application side. The basic validation of the editor does not allow injecting script codes and blocks the context. Attackers can inject the code by using an editor tag that is not recognized by the basic validation. Thus allows a restricted user account to inject malicious script code to perform a persistent attack against higher privilege web-application user accounts.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16636","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16637"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16635"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-18879","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-20"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-20495","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-31"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-18190","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-02"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"Bludit - Remote Code Execution (RCE) through File API","id":"CVE-2024-24550","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-24"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"Bludit - Remote Code Execution (RCE) through Image API","id":"CVE-2024-24551","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-24"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-20210","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-26"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31572","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject persistent XSS via unrecognized editor tags to compromise higher-privilege user accounts in Bludit CMS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16636/"}
