Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-39161 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WP Discussion Board Discussion Board. 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-2023-39161/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-39161/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-39161","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-39161/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-39161","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2cr9-jmh7-jr7x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the WP Discussion Board plugin, potentially executing code in victim browsers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-80","name":"Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS) vulnerability in WP Discussion Board Discussion Board allows Content Spoofing, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).This issue affects Discussion Board: from n/a through 2.4.8.","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 Discussion Board plugin \u003c= 2.4.8 - Content Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-39161","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress User Email Verification for WooCommerce Plugin \u003c= 3.5.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-39162"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Fraud Prevention For Woocommerce Plugin \u003c= 2.1.5 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-39159"},"products":["Discussion Board"],"published":"2024-06-04","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["WP Discussion Board"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the WP Discussion Board plugin, potentially executing code in victim browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-39161/"}
