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-2020-37233 exists.\n\nAffected product: Wordpress Buddypress. 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-2020-37233/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-37233/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-37233","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-37233/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-37233","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-98w5-3cm8-qr32"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated moderators can inject malicious scripts via figure parameters, leading to session hijacking and phishing when administrators view the content.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:P/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"WordPress Plugin Buddypress 6.2.0 contains a persistent cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers with moderator privileges to inject malicious script code through the figure parameter in wp:html blocks.
