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-2021-24243 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: bitorbit WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) Clipboard. 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-2021-24243/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24243/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24243","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24243/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24243","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q5g9-jf88-x4g8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via an unsanitized AJAX action, leading to stored XSS in admin pages.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wpbakery_page_builder_clipboard","vendor":"wpbakery_page_builder_clipboard_project"}],"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":"An AJAX action registered by the WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) Clipboard WordPress plugin before 4.5.6 did not have capability checks nor sanitization, allowing low privilege users (subscriber+) to call it and set XSS payloads, which will be triggered in all backend pages.","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":"WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard \u003c 4.5.6 - Subscriber+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24243","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard \u003c 4.5.8 - Unauthorised Arbitrary License Options Update","id":"CVE-2021-24244"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Tutor LMS \u003c 1.8.8 - Authenticated Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2021-24242"},"products":["WPBakery Page Builder (Visual Composer) Clipboard"],"published":"2021-05-05","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WPBakery Page Builder Clipboard \u003c 4.5.8 - Unauthorised Arbitrary License Options Update","id":"CVE-2021-24244","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-05"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in WPBakery Page Builder","id":"CVE-2024-5265","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-13"}],"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":["bitorbit"]},"summary":"Low-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via an unsanitized AJAX action, leading to stored XSS in admin pages.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24243/"}
