Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-3883 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Block Bad Bots and Stop Bad Bots Crawlers and Spiders and Anti Spam Protection. 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-2022-3883/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3883/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-3883","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3883/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-3883","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gjm9-6xp8-g72w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can install arbitrary plugins due to missing authorization and CSRF checks, leading to potential code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"stopbadbots","vendor":"stopbadbots_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The Block Bad Bots and Stop Bad Bots Crawlers and Spiders and Anti Spam Protection WordPress plugin before 7.24 does not have proper authorisation and CSRF in an AJAX action, allowing any authenticated users, such as subscriber to call it and install and activate arbitrary plugins from wordpress.org","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":"StopBadBots \u003c 7.24 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Plugin Installation","id":"CVE-2022-3883","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Directory Permission Vulnerability in Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer","id":"CVE-2022-3884"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Memory \u003c 2.46 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Plugin Installation","id":"CVE-2022-3882"},"products":["Block Bad Bots and Stop Bad Bots Crawlers and Spiders and Anti Spam Protection"],"published":"2022-12-12","related":[],"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":"2025-04-22","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated subscribers can install arbitrary plugins due to missing authorization and CSRF checks, leading to potential code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-3883/"}
