Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-3601 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Simple Author Box. 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-2023-3601/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3601/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-3601","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3601/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-3601","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x9pq-rg5g-m83p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Contributors can view arbitrary user information due to missing ID verification in the Simple Author Box plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"simple_author_box","vendor":"webfactoryltd"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Simple Author Box WordPress plugin before 2.52 does not verify a user ID before outputting information about that user, leading to arbitrary user information disclosure to users with a role as low as Contributor.","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":"Simple Author Box \u003c 2.52 - Contributor+ Arbitrary User Information Disclosure via IDOR","id":"CVE-2023-3601","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Processing sftp server read may cause null dereference","id":"CVE-2023-3603"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use-after-free in workers","id":"CVE-2023-3600"},"products":["Simple Author Box"],"published":"2023-08-14","related":[],"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":"2025-05-05","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can view arbitrary user information due to missing ID verification in the Simple Author Box plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3601/"}
