An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2023-0428 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Watu Quiz. 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-2023-0428/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0428/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-0428","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0428/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-0428","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3hmj-jp49-3cjx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in Watu Quiz plugin allows attackers to execute scripts against admin users, potentially leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"watu_quiz","vendor":"kibokolabs"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Watu Quiz WordPress plugin before 3.3.8.2 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.","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":"Watu Quiz \u003c 3.3.8.2 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2023-0428","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Watu Quiz \u003c 3.3.8.3 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-0429"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Stack overflow in filename or in boundary","id":"CVE-2023-0426"},"products":["Watu Quiz"],"published":"2023-02-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"WordPress Watu Quiz plugin \u003c= 3.4.1.2 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-53792","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-02"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"WordPress Watu Quiz plugin \u003c= 3.4.3 - SQL Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46242","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-22"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Watu Quiz plugin \u003c= 3.4.2 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-30844","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-01"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Watu Quiz Plugin \u003c= 3.3.9.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-30483","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-14"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Watu Quiz \u003c 3.4.1.2 - Author+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-2640","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-12"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Watu Quiz \u003c= 3.4.1 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-0873","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-12","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in Watu Quiz plugin allows attackers to execute scripts against admin users, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0428/"}
