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-2023-0442 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Loan Comparison. 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-2023-0442/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0442/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-0442","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0442/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-0442","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-545v-3hf5-cppv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject JavaScript into sites via crafted URLs due to insufficient validation in the Loan Comparison WordPress plugin shortcode.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"loan_comparison","vendor":"loan_comparison_project"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Loan Comparison WordPress plugin before 1.5.3 does not validate and escape some of its query parameters before outputting them back in a page/post via an embedded shortcode, which could allow an attacker to inject javascript into into the site via a crafted URL.","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":"Loan Comparison \u003c 1.5.2 - Reflected XSS via shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-0442","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"AnyWhere Elementor \u003c 1.2.8 - Freemius API Key Disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-0443"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Gallery Blocks with Lightbox \u003c 3.0.8 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Options Update","id":"CVE-2023-0441"},"products":["Loan Comparison"],"published":"2023-02-21","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-12","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject JavaScript into sites via crafted URLs due to insufficient validation in the Loan Comparison WordPress plugin shortcode.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-0442/"}
