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-2021-24173 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-2021-24173/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24173/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24173","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24173/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24173","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pfj9-w34v-grhw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit missing CSRF checks to force logged-in users to update plugin options, resulting in stored XSS and potential code execution.","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":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-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 update the plugin's options, leading to a Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue.","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 Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24173","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Database Backups \u003c= 1.2.2.6 - CSRF to Backup Download","id":"CVE-2021-24174"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"VM Backups \u003c= 1.0 - CSRF to Database Backup Download","id":"CVE-2021-24172"},"products":["VM Backups"],"published":"2021-04-05","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"VM Backups \u003c= 1.0 - CSRF to Database Backup Download","id":"CVE-2021-24172","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 exploit missing CSRF checks to force logged-in users to update plugin options, resulting in stored XSS and potential code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24173/"}
