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-2023-2488 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Stop Spammers Security | Block Spam Users, Comments, Forms. 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-2023-2488/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2488/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2488","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2488/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2488","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6q48-f9w9-vmgg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in Stop Spammers Security plugin allows attackers to execute scripts in admin dashboards, potentially compromising high-privilege accounts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"stop_spammers","vendor":"trumani"}],"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 Stop Spammers Security | Block Spam Users, Comments, Forms WordPress plugin before 2023 does not sanitise and escape various parameters before outputting them back in admin dashboard pages, 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":"Stop Spammers Security \u003c 2023 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2023-2488","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Stop Spammers Security \u003c 2023 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-2489"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP Ultimate Exporter Plugin \u003c= 2.4.1 is vulnerable to Sensitive Data Exposure","id":"CVE-2023-2487"},"products":["Stop Spammers Security | Block Spam Users, Comments, Forms"],"published":"2023-06-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Stop Spammers Security \u003c 2022.6 - Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection","id":"CVE-2022-4120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-26"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Stop Spammers \u003c 2021.9 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2021-24245","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-05"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Stop Spammers Security \u003c 2021.18 - Authenticated Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24517","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-06"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Stop Spammers Security \u003c 2023 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-2489","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-05"}],"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":"2025-01-08","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in Stop Spammers Security plugin allows attackers to execute scripts in admin dashboards, potentially compromising high-privilege accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2488/"}
