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-2021-24178 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Business Directory Plugin – Easy Listing Directories for WordPress. 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-2021-24178/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24178/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24178","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24178/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24178","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4r7v-8p9v-gphx"],"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 trick admins into modifying form fields via CSRF, leading to stored XSS and potential code execution in Business Directory Plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"business_directory_plugin_-_easy_listing_directories","vendor":"strategy11"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The Business Directory Plugin – Easy Listing Directories for WordPress WordPress plugin before 5.11.1 suffered from Cross-Site Request Forgery issues, allowing an attacker to make a logged in administrator add, edit or delete form fields, which could also lead to Stored Cross-Site Scripting issues.","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":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c 5.11.1 - Arbitrary Add/Edit/Delete Form Field to Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24178","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c 5.11 - Arbitrary File Upload to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24179"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP File Manager \u003c 7.1 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24177"},"products":["Business Directory Plugin – Easy Listing Directories for WordPress"],"published":"2021-05-05","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c 5.11 - Arbitrary File Upload to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24179","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-05"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c 5.11.1 - Authenticated PHP4 Upload to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-05"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c 5.11.2 - Arbitrary Listing Export","id":"CVE-2021-24249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-05"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c 5.11.2 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-05"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Business Directory Plugin \u003c 5.11.2 - Arbitrary Payment History Update","id":"CVE-2021-24251","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-05"}],"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":["Business Directory Team"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick admins into modifying form fields via CSRF, leading to stored XSS and potential code execution in Business Directory Plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24178/"}
