Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-29417 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ShortPixel Adaptive Images (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-2022-29417/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29417/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-29417","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29417/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-29417","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2w64-8h5x-5x42"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privilege users can modify ShortPixel Adaptive Images plugin settings due to missing authorization checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"shortpixel_adaptive_images","vendor":"shortpixel"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Plugin Settings Update vulnerability in ShortPixel's ShortPixel Adaptive Images plugin \u003c= 3.3.1 at WordPress allows an attacker with a low user role like a subscriber or higher to change the plugin settings.","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":"WordPress ShortPixel Adaptive Images plugin \u003c= 3.3.1 - Subscriber+ Plugin Settings Update vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-29417","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Night Mode plugin \u003c= 1.0.0 - Authenticated Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-29418"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Afterpay Gateway for WooCommerce Plugin \u003c= 3.5.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2022-29416"},"products":["ShortPixel Adaptive Images (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-04-25","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"ShortPixel Adaptive Images \u003c 3.6.3 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2023-0334","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-27"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WordPress ShortPixel Adaptive Images Plugin \u003c= 3.7.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-32512","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-09"}],"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":["ShortPixel"]},"summary":"Low-privilege users can modify ShortPixel Adaptive Images plugin settings due to missing authorization checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29417/"}
