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-2021-24979 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Paid Memberships Pro. 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-2021-24979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24979/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-33mq-pfqq-c55m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in the admin interface via the s parameter, potentially compromising administrator accounts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"paid_memberships_pro","vendor":"strangerstudios"}],"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 Paid Memberships Pro WordPress plugin before 2.6.6 does not escape the s parameter before outputting it back in an attribute in an admin page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","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-2021-24979.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Paid Memberships Pro \u003c 2.6.6 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Paid Memberships Pro \u003c 2.6.6 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Gwolle Guestbook \u003c 4.2.0 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"OSMapper \u003c= 2.1.5 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Post Deletion","id":"CVE-2021-24978"},"products":["Paid Memberships Pro"],"published":"2021-12-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Paid Memberships Pro WordPress Plugin","id":"CVE-2023-23488","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Paid Memberships Pro \u003c 2.6.7 - Unauthenticated Blind SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-25114","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-07"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Paid Memberships Pro \u003c 2.9.12 - Subscriber+ SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-0631","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in Paid Memberships Pro","id":"CVE-2021-20678","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-18"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"WordPress Paid Memberships Pro plugin \u003c= 3.0.5 - Authenticated SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37486","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-09"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"WordPress Paid Memberships Pro plugin \u003c= 3.0.4 - Insecure Direct Object References (IDOR) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Paid Memberships Pro \u003c= 2.12.3 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2023-6187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-18"}],"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 attacker can execute arbitrary scripts in the admin interface via the s parameter, potentially compromising administrator accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24979/"}
