An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-20008 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown myCred – Points, Rewards, Gamification, Ranks, Badges \u0026 Loyalty Plugin. 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-2017-20008/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-20008/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-20008","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-20008/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-20008","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wh5j-hw7g-r9fm"],"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":"An attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in the admin dashboard via the user parameter, potentially compromising administrator accounts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"mycred","vendor":"mycred"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The myCred WordPress plugin before 1.7.8 does not sanitise and escape the user parameter before outputting it back in the Points Log admin dashboard, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"myCRED \u003c 1.7.8 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2017-20008","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WEKA INTEREST Security Scanner HTTP denial of service","id":"CVE-2017-20011"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information Exposure in INGEPAC DA AU","id":"CVE-2017-20007"},"products":["myCred – Points, Rewards, Gamification, Ranks, Badges \u0026 Loyalty Plugin"],"published":"2021-11-29","related":[{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"myCred \u003c= 2.7.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via mycred_link Shortcode","id":"CVE-2024-10187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-08"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"myCred \u003c 2.4 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-25015","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-24"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Missing authorization in Points Management System For Gamification, Ranks, Badges, and Loyalty Rewards Program – myCred","id":"CVE-2024-8658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-25"}],"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":["Unknown"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in the admin dashboard via the user parameter, potentially compromising administrator accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-20008/"}
