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-2021-24968 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Ultimate FAQ – WordPress FAQ and Accordion 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-2021-24968/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24968/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24968","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24968/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24968","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vv9p-fxqw-339h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can create arbitrary FAQs due to missing capability and CSRF checks in the Ultimate FAQ WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"ultimate_faq","vendor":"etoilewebdesign"}],"cvss":{"score":5.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"},{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Ultimate FAQ WordPress plugin before 2.1.2 does not have capability and CSRF checks in the ewd_ufaq_welcome_add_faq and ewd_ufaq_welcome_add_faq_page AJAX actions, available to any authenticated users.
