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-2023-28664 exists.\n\nAffected product: Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter WordPress Plugin. 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-2023-28664/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28664/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28664","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28664/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28664","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cqqj-5rc7-h9ff"],"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":"An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary scripts via reflected XSS in the Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress_meta_data_and_taxonomies_filter","vendor":"pluginus"}],"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 Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter WordPress plugin, in versions \u003c 1.3.1, is affected by a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability in the 'tax_name' parameter of the mdf_get_tax_options_in_widget action, which can only be triggered by an authenticated user.","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":"Cross-site scripting in Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter WordPress Plugin","id":"CVE-2023-28664","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Woo Bulk Price Update WordPress Plugin","id":"CVE-2023-28665"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in Formidable PRO2PDF WordPress Plugin","id":"CVE-2023-28663"},"products":["Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter WordPress Plugin"],"published":"2023-03-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter \u003c= 1.3.3.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-8624","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-24"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in WordPress Meta Data Filter \u0026 Taxonomies Filter","id":"CVE-2021-20781","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-14"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"WordPress MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter plugin \u003c= 1.3.3.4 - Bypass Vulnerability vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50450","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter \u003c= 1.3.3.3 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary Shortcode Execution","id":"CVE-2024-8623","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-24"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter plugin \u003c= 1.3.3 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-29763","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-27"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter \u003c= 1.3.3.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-12030","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-08"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress MDTF – Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter plugin \u003c= 1.3.3.2 - Arbitrary Shortcode Execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-34434","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-17"}],"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":"2025-02-25","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker can execute arbitrary scripts via reflected XSS in the Meta Data and Taxonomies Filter WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28664/"}
