An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-39921 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Author Box, Guest Author and Co-Authors for Your Posts – Molongui. 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-2023-39921/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-39921/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-39921","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-39921/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-39921","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-43p5-xqqc-4x3g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Stored XSS in Molongui WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or site compromise.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"molongui","vendor":"amitzy"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Molongui Author Box, Guest Author and Co-Authors for Your Posts – Molongui allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Author Box, Guest Author and Co-Authors for Your Posts – Molongui: from n/a through 4.6.19.","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 Molongui Plugin \u003c= 4.6.19 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-39921","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 Avada theme \u003c= 7.11.1 - Authenticated Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-39922"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Redirection for Contact Form 7 plugin \u003c= 2.9.2 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-39920"},"products":["Author Box, Guest Author and Co-Authors for Your Posts – Molongui"],"published":"2023-11-30","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Molongui Plugin \u003c= 4.6.19 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-39164","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-04"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Molongui"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in Molongui WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or site compromise.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-39921/"}
