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-2021-36912 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Andrea Pernici News Sitemap for Google (WordPress 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-2021-36912/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36912/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-36912","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36912/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-36912","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-phc9-m5pc-wc67"],"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":"Authenticated attackers with contributor roles can inject malicious scripts via stored XSS in the News Sitemap for Google plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"google-news-sitemap","vendor":"google-news-sitemap_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","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":"Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Andrea Pernici News Sitemap for Google plugin \u003c= 1.0.16 on WordPress, attackers must have contributor or higher user role.","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":"Andrea Pernici News Sitemap for Google plugin \u003c= 1.0.16 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-36912","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Redirection for Contact Form 7 \u003c= 2.4.0 - Unauthenticated Options Change and Content Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-36913"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Comment Engine Pro plugin \u003c= 1.0 - Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-36911"},"products":["Andrea Pernici News Sitemap for Google (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-05-06","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Andrea Pernici"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers with contributor roles can inject malicious scripts via stored XSS in the News Sitemap for Google plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36912/"}
