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-2021-24538 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Current Book. 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-2021-24538/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24538/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24538","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24538/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24538","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cwpm-f2v4-x785"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via Author or Book Title fields in the Current Book WordPress plugin, potentially compromising other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"current_book","vendor":"current_book_project"}],"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 Current Book WordPress plugin through 1.0.1 does not sanitize user input when an authenticated user adds Author or Book Title, then does not escape these values when outputting to the browser leading to an Authenticated Stored XSS 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":"Current Book \u003c= 1.0.1 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24538","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Coming Soon, Under Construction \u0026 Maintenance Mode By Dazzler \u003c 1.6.7 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24539"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Similar Posts \u003c= 3.1.5 - Admin+ Arbitrary PHP Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-24537"},"products":["Current Book"],"published":"2021-08-16","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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via Author or Book Title fields in the Current Book WordPress plugin, potentially compromising other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24538/"}
