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-2021-24571 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown HD Quiz. 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-2021-24571/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24571/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24571","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24571/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24571","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7hqj-44cw-26jp"],"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 users can inject malicious scripts via quiz answers in the HD Quiz WordPress plugin, potentially leading to stored cross-site scripting attacks.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"hd_quiz","vendor":"harmonicdesign"}],"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 HD Quiz WordPress plugin before 1.8.4 does not escape some of its Answers before outputting them in attribute when generating the Quiz, which could lead 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":"HD Quiz \u003c 1.8.4 - Authenticated Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24571","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Paypal Donation \u003c 1.3.1 - CSRF to Arbitrary Post Deletion","id":"CVE-2021-24572"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Paypal Donation \u003c 1.3.1 - CSRF to Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24570"},"products":["HD Quiz"],"published":"2021-08-23","related":[{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress HD Quiz Plugin \u003c= 1.8.11 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2024-22161","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-31"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"HD Quiz \u003c 2.0.0 - Editor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-13383","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"}],"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 users can inject malicious scripts via quiz answers in the HD Quiz WordPress plugin, potentially leading to stored cross-site scripting attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24571/"}
