An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-24212 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WooCommerce Help Scout. 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-2021-24212/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24212/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24212","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24212/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24212","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-grjr-768v-vmjf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can upload arbitrary files to the server, potentially leading to remote code execution on sites using the WooCommerce Help Scout plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"help_scout","vendor":"woocommerce"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"The WooCommerce Help Scout WordPress plugin before 2.9.1 (https://woocommerce.com/products/woocommerce-help-scout/) allows unauthenticated users to upload any files to the site which by default will end up in wp-content/uploads/hstmp.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2021/CVE-2021-24212.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WooCommerce Help Scout - Arbitrary File Upload"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WooCommerce Help Scout \u003c 2.9.1 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload leading to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24212","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"file_upload","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"GiveWP \u003c 2.10.0 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24213"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Related Posts \u003c= 3.6.4 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24211"},"products":["WooCommerce Help Scout"],"published":"2021-04-05","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can upload arbitrary files to the server, potentially leading to remote code execution on sites using the WooCommerce Help Scout plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24212/"}
