An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-2167 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Newspaper. 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-2022-2167/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2167/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-2167","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2167/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-2167","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5hp7-8m7g-vwm9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via unsanitized AJAX parameters in the Newspaper WordPress theme.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"newspaper","vendor":"tagdiv"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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 Newspaper WordPress theme before 12 does not sanitise a parameter before outputting it back in an HTML attribute via an AJAX action, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Newspaper \u003c 12 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-2167","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Download Manager \u003c 3.2.44 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-2168"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Restriction of Excessive Authentication Attempts in mastodon/mastodon","id":"CVE-2022-2166"},"products":["Newspaper"],"published":"2022-10-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10972","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18634","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-16"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Newspaper \u003c 12 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-2627","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-31"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-3135","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-19"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Newspaper \u003c= 12.6.5 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Attachment Meta","id":"CVE-2024-3815","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-15"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-07","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via unsanitized AJAX parameters in the Newspaper WordPress theme.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-2167/"}
