An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-24657 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Limit Login Attempts. 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-2021-24657/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24657/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24657","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24657/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24657","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-68r9-qhv3-7fgg"],"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":"An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts via IP headers that execute in the admin reports table of the Limit Login Attempts plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"limit_login_attempts","vendor":"limit_login_attempts_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 Limit Login Attempts WordPress plugin before 4.0.50 does not escape the IP addresses (which can be controlled by attacker via headers such as X-Forwarded-For) of attempted logins before outputting them in the reports table, leading to an Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting issue.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2021/CVE-2021-24657.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Limit Login Attempts WordPress - Stored Cross-site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts \u003c 4.0.50 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24657","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Erident Custom Login and Dashboard \u003c 3.5.9 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24658"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Simple Social Media Share Buttons \u003c 3.2.4 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24656"},"products":["Limit Login Attempts"],"published":"2021-09-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts (Spam Protection) \u003c 5.1 - Unauthenticated SQLi","id":"CVE-2022-0787","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-10001","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-06"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts \u003c= 1.7.1 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-1912","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-06"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts \u003c 1.7.2 - Subscriber+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-1861","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-02"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts via IP headers that execute in the admin reports table of the Limit Login Attempts plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24657/"}
