Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, 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-2023-1861 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Limit Login Attempts. 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-2023-1861/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1861/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-1861","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1861/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-1861","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rvp8-3787-qggj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can inject malicious scripts via usernames in the Limit Login Attempts plugin logs, leading to stored XSS attacks.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"limit_login_attempts","vendor":"limit_login_attempts_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Limit Login Attempts WordPress plugin through 1.7.2 does not sanitize and escape usernames when outputting them back in the logs dashboard, which could allow any authenticated users, such as subscriber to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks","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":"Limit Login Attempts \u003c 1.7.2 - Subscriber+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-1861","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Remote access to warp-svc.exe in Cloudflare WARP","id":"CVE-2023-1862"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Keysight IXIA Hawkeye licenses cross site scripting","id":"CVE-2023-1860"},"products":["Limit Login Attempts"],"published":"2023-05-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts (Spam Protection) \u003c 5.1 - Unauthenticated SQLi","id":"CVE-2022-0787","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-10001","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-06"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts \u003c= 1.7.1 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-1912","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-06"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Limit Login Attempts \u003c 4.0.50 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24657","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-20"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-30","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can inject malicious scripts via usernames in the Limit Login Attempts plugin logs, leading to stored XSS attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-1861/"}
