An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24617 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown GamePress – The Game Database Plugin. 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-2021-24617/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24617/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24617","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24617/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24617","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xhmh-c6rr-hj3g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via the op_edit parameter in GamePress plugin pages, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"gamepress","vendor":"gamepress_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 GamePress WordPress plugin through 1.1.0 does not escape the op_edit POST parameter before outputting it back in multiple Game Option pages, leading to Reflected 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":"GamePress \u003c= 1.1.0 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24617","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Donate With QRCode \u003c 1.4.5 - Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24618"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"AddToAny Share Buttons \u003c 1.7.48 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24616"},"products":["GamePress – The Game Database Plugin"],"published":"2021-10-18","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":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via the op_edit parameter in GamePress plugin pages, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24617/"}
