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-2022-1582 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown External Links in New Window / New Tab. 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-2022-1582/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1582/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-1582","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1582/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-1582","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pgjp-w5pj-5rg7"],"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":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via URLs in the External Links in New Window / New Tab WordPress plugin, leading to stored XSS.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"external_links_in_new_window_\\/_new_tab","vendor":"webfactoryltd"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 External Links in New Window / New Tab WordPress plugin before 1.43 does not properly escape URLs it concatenates to onclick event handlers, which makes Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks possible.","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":"External Links in New Window / New Tab \u003c 1.43 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-1582","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"External Links in New Window / New Tab \u003c 1.43 - Tabnabbing","id":"CVE-2022-1583"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP-Polls \u003c 2.76.0 - IP Validation Bypass","id":"CVE-2022-1581"},"products":["External Links in New Window / New Tab"],"published":"2022-05-30","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"External Links in New Window / New Tab \u003c 1.43 - Tabnabbing","id":"CVE-2022-1583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-30"}],"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":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via URLs in the External Links in New Window / New Tab WordPress plugin, leading to stored XSS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1582/"}
