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-2022-29421 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adam Skaat Countdown \u0026 Clock (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-2022-29421/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29421/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-29421","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29421/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-29421","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8vxg-r3hj-c4gx"],"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":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via a reflected XSS vulnerability in the Countdown \u0026 Clock WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"countdown_builder","vendor":"edmonsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Adam Skaat's Countdown \u0026 Clock plugin on WordPress via \u0026ycd_type vulnerable parameter.","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 Countdown \u0026 Clock plugin \u003c= 2.3.2 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-29421","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 scripting in Countdown \u0026 Clock (WordPress plugin)","id":"CVE-2022-29422"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Countdown \u0026 Clock plugin \u003c= 2.3.2 - Auth.
