Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-42460 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SedLex Traffic Manager (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-2022-42460/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42460/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42460","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42460/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42460","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c3p8-66jq-vjx5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts via broken access control in the Traffic Manager plugin, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"traffic_manager","vendor":"sedlex"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Broken Access Control vulnerability leading to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Traffic Manager plugin \u003c= 1.4.5 on 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":"Cross-site scripting in Traffic Manager (WordPress plugin)","id":"CVE-2022-42460","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"WordPress miniOrange's Google Authenticator plugin \u003c= 5.6.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-42461"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Image Hover Effects Ultimate plugin \u003c= 9.7.1 - Auth.
