An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2021-24981 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2021-24981 is a high-severity vulnerability in Unknown Directorist – Business Directory Plugin, published on 21 Dec 2021. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-24981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Directorist – Business Directory 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-2021-24981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24981/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24981","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g47h-745c-4p4f"],"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":"Attackers can upload arbitrary PHP shells via CSRF, leading to remote code execution on WordPress sites using the Directorist plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"directorist","vendor":"wpwax"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"},{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The Directorist WordPress plugin before 7.0.6.2 was vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery to Remote File Upload leading to arbitrary PHP shell uploads in the wp-content/plugins directory.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Directorist – Business Directory Plugin \u003c 7.0.6.2 - CSRF to Remote File Upload","id":"CVE-2021-24981","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"file_upload","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Child Theme Generator \u003c= 2.2.7 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24982"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Gwolle Guestbook \u003c 4.2.0 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24980"},"products":["Directorist – Business Directory Plugin"],"published":"2021-12-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Directorist \u003c= 7.5.4 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary User Password Reset to Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-1888","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-09"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings \u0026 Classified Ads","id":"CVE-2025-1570","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-28"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings \u0026 Classified Ads","id":"CVE-2023-1889","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-09"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Directorist \u003c 7.4.4 - Subscriber+ Sensitive Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2022-3961","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-19"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Directorist \u003c 7.4.2.2 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary User Password Update via IDOR","id":"CVE-2022-3930","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in Directorist: AI-Powered Business Directory, Listings \u0026 Classified Ads","id":"CVE-2024-12041","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-01"}],"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":"Attackers can upload arbitrary PHP shells via CSRF, leading to remote code execution on WordPress sites using the Directorist plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24981/"}
