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-2022-27845 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PlausibleHQ Plausible Analytics (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-2022-27845/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27845/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-27845","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27845/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-27845","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6r72-7pp6-cv8q"],"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":"Authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts into the Plausible Analytics WordPress plugin, potentially compromising other users' sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"plausible_analytics","vendor":"plausible"}],"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 (admin or higher user role) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in PlausibleHQ Plausible Analytics (WordPress plugin) \u003c= 1.2.2","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"WordPress Plausible Analytics plugin \u003c= 1.2.2 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-27845","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Yoo Slider – Image Slider \u0026 Video Slider (WordPress plugin)","id":"CVE-2022-27846"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WPvivid plugin \u003c= 0.9.70 - Arbitrary File Read vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-27844"},"products":["Plausible Analytics (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-04-11","related":[{"cvss_score":5.8,"headline":"WordPress Plausible Analytics Plugin \u003c= 1.3.3 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-40553","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-06"}],"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["PlausibleHQ"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts into the Plausible Analytics WordPress plugin, potentially compromising other users' sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27845/"}
