Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-13478 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-2019-13478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-13478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-13478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-13478/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-13478","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wq5j-p8j8-wx7p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress SEO plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject unfiltered HTML into term descriptions, leading to cross-site scripting attacks against WordPress users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"yoast_seo","vendor":"yoast"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AC:L/AV:N/A:L/C:H/I:H/PR:L/S:C/UI:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Yoast SEO plugin before 11.6-RC5 for WordPress does not properly restrict unfiltered HTML in term descriptions.","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-2019-13478","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-13481"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-13477"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-07-09","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Yoast SEO: Local Plugin \u003c= 14.8 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-32300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-23"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19370","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-28"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Yoast SEO: Local Plugin \u003c= 14.9 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-28785","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-28"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Server-Side Request Forgery in yoast_seo","id":"CVE-2021-31779","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-28"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Yoast SEO Plugin \u003c= 21.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-40680","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-30"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting in the yoast_seo TYPO3 extension","id":"CVE-2021-36788","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-13"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject unfiltered HTML into term descriptions, leading to cross-site scripting attacks against WordPress users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-13478/"}
