An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-3998 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: advancedcoding Comments – wpDiscuz. 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-2023-3998/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3998/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-3998","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3998/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-3998","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fc94-mp7c-xmpq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can modify post ratings in wpDiscuz due to missing authorization checks, requiring plugin updates.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[{"product":"wpdiscuz","vendor":"gvectors"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"The wpDiscuz plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to unauthorized modification of data due to a missing authorization check on the userRate function in versions up to, and including, 7.6.3.
