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-2023-1420 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Ajax Search Lite. 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-2023-1420/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1420/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-1420","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1420/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-1420","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cq3h-xfg9-7523"],"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 Ajax Search Lite and Pro plugins allows attackers to execute scripts against admin users via unsanitized AJAX parameters.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"ajax_search","vendor":"wp-dreams"}],"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 Ajax Search Lite WordPress plugin before 4.11.1, Ajax Search Pro WordPress plugin before 4.26.2 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in a response of an AJAX action, 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":"Ajax Search Lite \u003c 4.11.1, Pro \u003c 4.26.2 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-1420","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Reflected XSS in OAuth flow completion endpoints","id":"CVE-2023-1421"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Debezium: script injection via connector parameter","id":"CVE-2023-1419"},"products":["Ajax Search Lite","Ajax Search Pro"],"published":"2023-04-24","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Ajax Search Lite Plugin \u003c= 4.11.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2024-21752","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-29"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Ajax Search Lite Pro \u003c 4.26.2 - Multiple Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-1435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-24"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Ajax Search Lite \u003c= 4.12.2 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-8619","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Ajax Search Lite \u003c 4.12.1 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-7084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-06"},{"cvss_score":4.7,"headline":"Ajax Search Lite \u003c 4.12.4 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-10568","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-12"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Ajax Search Lite \u003c 4.12.5 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-13585","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-21"}],"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":"2025-02-04","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in Ajax Search Lite and Pro plugins allows attackers to execute scripts against admin users via unsanitized AJAX parameters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1420/"}
