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-2021-24482 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Related Posts for WordPress. 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-2021-24482/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24482/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24482","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24482/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24482","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fcp3-3hf6-755h"],"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":"Administrators can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized heading and CSS settings in the Related Posts for WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"related_posts","vendor":"never5"}],"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 Related Posts for WordPress plugin through 2.0.4 does not sanitise its heading_text and CSS settings, allowing high privilege users (admin) to set XSS payloads in them, leading to Stored Cross-Site 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":"Related Posts for WordPress \u003c= 2.0.4 - Authenticated Stored XSS \u0026 XFS","id":"CVE-2021-24482","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Poll Maker \u003c 3.2.1 - Authenticated Blind SQL Injections","id":"CVE-2021-24483"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Any Hostname \u003c= 1.0.6 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24481"},"products":["Related Posts for WordPress"],"published":"2021-07-19","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9361","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-28"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Cross-site Scripting (XSS) - Stored in barrykooij/related-posts-for-wp","id":"CVE-2022-3506","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-14"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Related Posts for WordPress \u003c= 2.2.1 - Cross-Site Request Forgery","id":"CVE-2024-0592","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-13"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Related Posts for WordPress \u003c 2.0.4 - Authenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24180","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-05"}],"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":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Administrators can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized heading and CSS settings in the Related Posts for WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24482/"}
