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-2021-24678 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown CM Tooltip Glossary – Better SEO and UEX for your WP site. 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-2021-24678/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24678/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24678","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24678/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24678","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jmwf-xjgj-rg8f"],"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":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via glossary_tooltip shortcode attributes, allowing stored XSS attacks against site visitors.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"tooltip_glossary","vendor":"cminds"}],"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 CM Tooltip Glossary WordPress plugin before 3.9.21 does not escape some glossary_tooltip shortcode attributes, which could allow users a role as low as Contributor to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks","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":"CM Tooltip Glossary \u003c 3.9.21 - Contributor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24678","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Bitcoin / AltCoin Payment Gateway for WooCommerce \u003c 1.6.1 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24679"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Find My Blocks \u003c 3.4.0 - Private Post Titles Disclosure","id":"CVE-2021-24677"},"products":["CM Tooltip Glossary – Better SEO and UEX for your WP site"],"published":"2021-10-04","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1000132","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-10-10"}],"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":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via glossary_tooltip shortcode attributes, allowing stored XSS attacks against site visitors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24678/"}
