An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-38360 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: wp-publications. 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-2021-38360/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38360/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-38360","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38360/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-38360","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m98h-48v7-g4f9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the wp-publications plugin to achieve remote code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[{"product":"wp-publications","vendor":"wp-publications_project"}],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-829","name":"Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere"},{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"The wp-publications WordPress plugin is vulnerable to restrictive local file inclusion via the Q_FILE parameter found in the ~/bibtexbrowser.php file which allows attackers to include local zip files and achieve remote code execution, in versions up to and including 0.0.","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":"wp-publications \u003c= 0.0 Local File Include","id":"CVE-2021-38360","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":".htaccess Redirect \u003c= 0.3.1 Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-38361"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress InviteBox Plugin \u003c= 1.4.1 Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-38359"},"products":["wp-publications"],"published":"2021-09-10","related":[{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"WP Publications \u003c= 1.2 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-11605","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-27"}],"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-31","vendors":["wp-publications"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a local file inclusion vulnerability in the wp-publications plugin to achieve remote code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-38360/"}
