Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-28494 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: CodePeople Contact Form Email. 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-2023-28494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28494/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28494","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3pqq-c927-m2hq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can submit feedback without authorization due to missing checks in the Contact Form Email plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"contact_form_email","vendor":"codepeople"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in CodePeople Contact Form Email allows Functionality Misuse.This issue affects Contact Form Email: from n/a through 1.3.31.","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 Contact Form Email plugin \u003c= 1.3.31 - Missing Authorization Leading To Feedback Submission Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-28494","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress WP Shortcode by MyThemeShop Plugin \u003c= 1.4.16 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-28495"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Newsmag Theme \u003c= 2.4.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-28493"},"products":["Contact Form Email"],"published":"2024-06-04","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20964","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Contact Form Email \u003c 1.3.44 - Editor+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-5955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-11"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-20963","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-9646","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-10"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress Contact Form to Email Plugin \u003c= 1.3.52 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-24727","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-24"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Contact Form Email \u003c 1.3.38 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-2718","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-12"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress Contact Form Email plugin \u003c= 1.3.41 - Captcha Bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-48318","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-04"}],"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["CodePeople"]},"summary":"Attackers can submit feedback without authorization due to missing checks in the Contact Form Email plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28494/"}
