Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, 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-2017-20096 exists.\n\nAffected product: unspecified WP-SpamFree Anti-Spam 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-2017-20096/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-20096/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-20096","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-20096/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-20096","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hjm7-73g4-786x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A cross-site scripting vulnerability in the WP-SpamFree Anti-Spam Plugin allows remote attackers to inject malicious scripts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulDB","cpe":[{"product":"wp-spamfree_anti-spam","vendor":"wp-spamfree_anti-spam_project"}],"cvss":{"score":3.5,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-80","name":"Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page"}],"description":"A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in WP-SpamFree Anti-Spam Plugin 2.1.1.4.
