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-2021-24246 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PureThemes WorkScout. 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-2021-24246/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24246/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24246","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24246/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24246","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2236-w2hm-xc9j"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts into chat messages, leading to stored XSS and cross-frame scripting attacks against other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"workscout","vendor":"purethemes"},{"product":"workscout_core","vendor":"purethemes"}],"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 Workscout Core WordPress plugin before 1.3.4, used by the WorkScout Theme did not sanitise the chat messages sent via the workscout_send_message_chat AJAX action, leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Frame 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":"WorkScout Core \u003c 1.3.4 - Authenticated Stored XSS \u0026 XFS","id":"CVE-2021-24246","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Contact Form Check Tester \u003c= 1.0.2 - Broken Access Control to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24247"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Stop Spammers \u003c 2021.9 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24245"},"products":["WorkScout","Workscout Core"],"published":"2021-05-05","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["PureThemes"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts into chat messages, leading to stored XSS and cross-frame scripting attacks against other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24246/"}
