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-2022-46162 exists.\n\nAffected product: discourse-bbcode. 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-2022-46162/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-46162/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-46162","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-46162/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-46162","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8c87-xpqv-c7mp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Discourse BBCode plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject arbitrary CSS via BBCode in Discourse, potentially leading to XSS or UI manipulation, affecting sites with the plugin enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"discourse_bbcode","vendor":"discourse"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"}],"description":"discourse-bbcode is the official BBCode plugin for Discourse.
