An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2017-18536 exists.\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-2017-18536/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-18536/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-18536","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-18536/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-18536","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-89h9-hfwf-446p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in the stop-user-enumeration WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"stop_user_enumeration","vendor":"fullworksplugins"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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":"The stop-user-enumeration plugin before 1.3.8 for WordPress has XSS.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2017/CVE-2017-18536.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Stop User Enumeration \u003c=1.3.7 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18536","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18537"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18535"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-08-21","related":[{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Stop User Enumeration \u003c 1.7.3 - Protection Bypass","id":"CVE-2025-4302","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-17"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000226","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-17"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in the stop-user-enumeration WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-18536/"}
