An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-23649 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: MainWP Links Manager Extension. 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-2023-23649/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23649/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-23649","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23649/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-23649","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jr67-rvwm-64hr"],"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":"Unauthenticated attackers can exploit PHP object injection in the MainWP Links Manager Extension to potentially execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data vulnerability in MainWP MainWP Links Manager Extension.This issue affects MainWP Links Manager Extension: from n/a through 2.1.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress MainWP Links Manager Extension Plugin \u003c= 2.1 - Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-23649","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress MainWP Code Snippets Extension Plugin \u003c= 4.0.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-23650"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Team Member Plugin \u003c= 4.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-23647"},"products":["MainWP Links Manager Extension"],"published":"2024-03-28","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["MainWP"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can exploit PHP object injection in the MainWP Links Manager Extension to potentially execute arbitrary code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-23649/"}
