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-2021-24172 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown VM Backups. 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-2021-24172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24172/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-326h-4j76-v65q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick logged-in users into generating database backups, potentially exposing sensitive data or modifying site state.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"vm_backups","vendor":"vm_backups_project"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The VM Backups WordPress plugin through 1.0 does not have CSRF checks, allowing attackers to make a logged in user unwanted actions, such as generate backups of the DB, plugins, and current .","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":"VM Backups \u003c= 1.0 - CSRF to Database Backup Download","id":"CVE-2021-24172","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"VM Backups \u003c= 1.0 - CSRF to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24173"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WooCommerce Upload Files \u003c 59.4 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2021-24171"},"products":["VM Backups"],"published":"2021-04-05","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"VM Backups \u003c= 1.0 - CSRF to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24173","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-05"}],"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":"Attackers can trick logged-in users into generating database backups, potentially exposing sensitive data or modifying site state.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24172/"}
