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-2022-0840 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Easy Social Icons. 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-2022-0840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-0840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0840/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-0840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qp34-j2qv-6pv6"],"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":"High-privileged users can inject arbitrary JavaScript via the image_file field in the Easy Social Icons plugin, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"easy_social_icons","vendor":"cybernetikz"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","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":"The Easy Social Icons WordPress plugin before 3.2.1 does not properly escape the image_file field when adding a new social icon, allowing high privileged users to inject arbitrary javascript even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.","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":"Easy Social Icons \u003c 3.2.1 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting in add icon","id":"CVE-2022-0840","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"OS Command Injection in ljharb/npm-lockfile","id":"CVE-2022-0841"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in liquibase/liquibase","id":"CVE-2022-0839"},"products":["Easy Social Icons"],"published":"2022-04-11","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Easy Social Icons \u003c 3.1.4 - Admin+ SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2022-0887","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-04"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-02-25"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Easy Social Icons Plugin \u003c= 3.2.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-48336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-30"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Easy Social Icons \u003c= 3.0.8 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-39322","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-02"}],"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":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"High-privileged users can inject arbitrary JavaScript via the image_file field in the Easy Social Icons plugin, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0840/"}
