An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-36920 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WPChill Download Monitor (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-2021-36920/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36920/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-36920","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-36920/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-36920","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6vjf-f548-f65r"],"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":"An authenticated attacker can inject malicious scripts into the Download Monitor plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"download_monitor","vendor":"wpchill"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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":"Authenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability discovered in WordPress plugin Download Monitor (versions \u003c= 4.4.6).","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":"WordPress plugin Download Monitor \u003c= 4.4.6 - Authenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-36920","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-36921"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Awesome Support plugin \u003c= 6.0.6 - Multiple Authenticated Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2021-36919"},"products":["Download Monitor (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-01-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"WordPress Download Monitor Plugin \u003c= 4.8.3 is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2023-34007","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-20"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"WordPress Download Monitor theme \u003c= 4.9.4 - Auth.
