An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-40195 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PCA Predict (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-2022-40195/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40195/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-40195","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40195/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-40195","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vhxm-j92c-jf79"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts into the PCA Predict WordPress plugin, potentially leading to session hijacking or site compromise.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"loqate","vendor":"loqate"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","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":"Authenticated (admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in PCA Predict plugin \u003c= 1.0.3 at WordPress.","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 PCA Predict plugin \u003c= 1.0.3 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-40195","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler and Intel® C++ Compiler Classic for some Intel(R) oneAPI Toolkits","id":"CVE-2022-40196"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Customer Reviews for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 5.3.5 - Sensitive Information Disclosure vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-40194"},"products":["PCA Predict (WordPress plugin)"],"published":"2022-09-23","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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["PCA Predict"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can inject malicious scripts into the PCA Predict WordPress plugin, potentially leading to session hijacking or site compromise.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40195/"}
