An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-24942 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Menu Item Visibility Control. 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-2021-24942/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24942/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24942","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24942/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24942","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vgw7-4fx3-67r7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Highly privileged users can execute arbitrary PHP code via unsanitized menu visibility logic in the Menu Item Visibility Control plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"menu_item_visibility_control","vendor":"menu_item_visibility_control_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Menu Item Visibility Control WordPress plugin through 0.5 doesn't sanitize and validate the \"Visibility logic\" option for WordPress menu items, which could allow highly privileged users to execute arbitrary PHP code even in a hardened environment.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Menu Item Visibility Control \u003c= 0.5 - Admin+ Arbitrary PHP Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-24942","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Registrations for the Events Calendar \u003c 2.7.6 - Unauthenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-24943"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Icegram \u003c 2.0.5 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24941"},"products":["Menu Item Visibility Control"],"published":"2022-12-26","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-14","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Highly privileged users can execute arbitrary PHP code via unsanitized menu visibility logic in the Menu Item Visibility Control plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24942/"}
