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-2023-2309 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown wpForo Forum. 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-2023-2309/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2309/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2309","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2309/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2309","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f9rf-7669-xvj8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in wpForo Forum when debug mode is enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wpforo_forum","vendor":"gvectors"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","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 wpForo Forum WordPress plugin before 2.1.9 does not escape some request parameters while in debug mode, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2023/CVE-2023-2309.yaml","stars":null,"title":"wpForo Forum \u003c= 2.1.8 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"wpForo Forum \u003c 2.1.9 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-2309","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Channel Accessible by Non-Endpoint","id":"CVE-2023-2310"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in builderio/qwik","id":"CVE-2023-2307"},"products":["wpForo Forum"],"published":"2023-07-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"wpForo Forum \u003c= 2.3.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-3200","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-01"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"WordPress wpForo Forum plugin \u003c= 2.0.9 - Auth.
