Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-24433 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown simple sort\u0026search. 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-2021-24433/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24433/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24433","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24433/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24433","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f6fq-4q55-rg2f"],"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":"Stored XSS in Simple Sort\u0026Search plugin allows contributors to inject scripts via indexurl parameter, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"simple_sort\\\u0026search","vendor":"yukimichi"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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 simple sort\u0026search WordPress plugin through 0.0.3 does not make sure that the indexurl parameter of the shortcodes \"category_sims\", \"order_sims\", \"orderby_sims\", \"period_sims\", and \"tag_sims\" use allowed URL protocols, which can lead to stored cross-site scripting by users with a role as low as Contributor","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Simple Sort\u0026Search \u003c= 0.0.3 - Ccontributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24433","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Glass \u003c= 1.3.2 - CSRF to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24434"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Advanced AJAX Product Filters \u003c 1.5.4.7 - Unauthenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24432"},"products":["simple sort\u0026search"],"published":"2024-01-16","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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in Simple Sort\u0026Search plugin allows contributors to inject scripts via indexurl parameter, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24433/"}
