An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, 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-2022-3237 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Contact Slider. 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-2022-3237/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3237/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-3237","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3237/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-3237","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8xcg-mxrm-jq68"],"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":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in WP Contact Slider, enabling stored XSS attacks.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wp_contact_slider","vendor":"wpexperts"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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":"The WP Contact Slider WordPress plugin before 2.4.8 does not sanitize and escape its settings, allowing high privilege users such as admin to perform cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed.","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":"WP Contact Slider \u003c 2.4.8 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-3237","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in Kernel","id":"CVE-2022-3238"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Sophos Firewall Code Injection","id":"CVE-2022-3236"},"products":["WP Contact Slider"],"published":"2022-10-31","related":[{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"WP Contact Slider \u003c 2.4.7 - Editor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-1301","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-04"}],"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":"2025-05-06","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in WP Contact Slider, enabling stored XSS attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3237/"}
