An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24537 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Similar Posts – Best Related Posts Plugin 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-2021-24537/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24537/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24537","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24537/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24537","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-58m2-c5rp-jr5w"],"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 execute arbitrary PHP code via a widget setting in the Similar Posts WordPress plugin, even in hardened environments.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"similar_posts","vendor":"shareaholic"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The Similar Posts WordPress plugin through 3.1.5 allow high privilege users to execute arbitrary PHP code in an hardened environment (ie with DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT, DISALLOW_FILE_MODS and DISALLOW_UNFILTERED_HTML set to true) via the 'widget_rrm_similar_posts_condition' widget setting of the plugin.","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":"Similar Posts \u003c= 3.1.5 - Admin+ Arbitrary PHP Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-24537","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Current Book \u003c= 1.0.1 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24538"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Custom Login Redirect \u003c= 1.0.0 - CSRF to Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24536"},"products":["Similar Posts – Best Related Posts Plugin for WordPress"],"published":"2021-11-08","related":[{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Similar Posts Plugin \u003c= 3.1.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2022-41612","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-24"}],"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":"High-privilege users can execute arbitrary PHP code via a widget setting in the Similar Posts WordPress plugin, even in hardened environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24537/"}
