An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24427 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: BoldGrid W3 Total Cache. 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-2021-24427/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24427/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24427","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24427/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24427","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6h4x-c495-6qh7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"High-privilege users can inject JavaScript into CDN settings, leading to stored XSS attacks against other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"w3_total_cache","vendor":"boldgrid"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 W3 Total Cache WordPress plugin before 2.1.3 did not sanitise or escape some of its CDN settings, allowing high privilege users to use JavaScript in them, which will be output in the page, leading to an authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue","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":"W3 Total Cache \u003c 2.1.3 - Authenticated Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24427","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"RSS for Yandex Turbo \u003c= 1.30 - Authenticated Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24428"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Backup by 10Web \u003c= 1.0.20 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24426"},"products":["W3 Total Cache"],"published":"2021-07-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"W3 Total Cache \u003c= 2.8.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Missing Authorization to Server-Side Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2024-12365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Total Cache","id":"CVE-2012-6077","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Total Cache","id":"CVE-2012-6078","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Total Cache","id":"CVE-2012-6079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-6715","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-01"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9414","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-24"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"W3 Total Cache \u003c 2.1.4 - Reflected XSS in Extensions Page (Attribute Context)","id":"CVE-2021-24436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-19"}],"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":["BoldGrid"]},"summary":"High-privilege users can inject JavaScript into CDN settings, leading to stored XSS attacks against other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24427/"}
