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-2022-29455 exists.\n\nAffected product: Elementor Website Builder (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-2022-29455/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29455/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-29455","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-29455/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-29455","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9gjm-mrgw-7qq8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in victim browsers via DOM-based reflected XSS in the Elementor Website Builder plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"website_builder","vendor":"elementor"}],"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":"DOM-based Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Elementor's Elementor Website Builder plugin \u003c= 3.5.5 versions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2022-06-25","github_poc":4,"max_poc_stars":17,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2022-09-05T12:08:50Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/akhilkoradiya/CVE-2022-29455","stars":17,"title":"Wordpress Vulnerability - XSS ( Cross-Site Scripting )"},{"date":"2022-06-25T20:57:55Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/GULL2100/Wordpress_xss-CVE-2022-29455","stars":4,"title":null},{"date":"2023-02-12T06:26:11Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/0xc4t/CVE-2022-29455","stars":3,"title":"CVE-2022-29455"},{"date":"2023-01-05T18:29:47Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/abdipranata/CVE-2022-29455","stars":2,"title":"Mass Scanner for CVE-2022-29455 on Elementor Plugins Wordpress"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2022/CVE-2022-29455.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Elementor Website Builder \u003c= 3.5.5 - DOM Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Elementor plugin \u003c= 3.5.5 - Unauthenticated DOM-based Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-29455","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-29457"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Better Messages plugin \u003c= 1.9.9.148 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-29454"},"products":["Elementor Website Builder (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-06-13","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"WordPress Elementor plugin 3.3.0-3.18.1 - Arbitrary File Upload vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-48777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-7109","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Elementor Website Builder 3.6.0 - 3.6.2 - Missing Authorization to Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-1329","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-19"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"WordPress Elementor plugin \u003c= 3.19.0 - Arbitrary File Deletion and Phar Deserialization vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-24934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Elementor Website Builder \u003c 3.12.2 - Admin+ SQLi","id":"CVE-2023-0329","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-30"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Elementor plugin \u003c= 3.25.10 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-54444","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-25"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Elementor plugin \u003c= 3.16.4 - Auth.
