Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24196 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Social Slider Widget. 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-2021-24196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24196/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24196","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m86p-9hj8-wr2g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary scripts via reflected XSS in the Social Slider Widget plugin settings page.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"social_slider_widget","vendor":"cm-wp"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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":"The Social Slider Widget WordPress plugin before 1.8.5 allowed Authenticated Reflected XSS in the plugin settings page as the ‘token_error’ parameter can be controlled by users and it is directly echoed without being sanitized","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":"Social Slider Widget \u003c 1.8.5 - Authenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24196","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"wpDataTables \u003c 3.4.2 - Improper Access Control leading to Table Permission Takeover","id":"CVE-2021-24197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Login as User or Customer (User Switching) \u003c 1.9 - Arbitrary Plugin Installation/Activation via Low Privilege User","id":"CVE-2021-24195"},"products":["Social Slider Widget"],"published":"2021-04-05","related":[{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Social Slider Feed \u003c 2.2.9 - Admin+ Stored XSS via Widgets","id":"CVE-2024-10149","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Social Slider Feed \u003c 2.2.9 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2025-0717","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-25"}],"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":"Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary scripts via reflected XSS in the Social Slider Widget plugin settings page.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24196/"}
