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-2021-24124 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Shieldon. 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-2021-24124/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24124/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24124","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24124/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24124","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pvrg-m768-r86c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via the CAPTCHA page in WP Shieldon, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wp_shieldon","vendor":"terryl"}],"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":"Unvalidated input and lack of output encoding in the WP Shieldon WordPress plugin, version 1.6.3 and below, leads to Unauthenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) when the CAPTCHA page is shown could lead to privileged escalation.","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":"WP Shieldon 1.6.3 - Unauthenticated Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24124","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Contact Form Submissions \u003c 1.7.1 - Authenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24125"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"PowerPress \u003c 8.3.8 - Authenticated Arbitrary File Upload leading to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24123"},"products":["WP Shieldon"],"published":"2021-03-18","related":[],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via the CAPTCHA page in WP Shieldon, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24124/"}
