Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-40068 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WP Engine Advanced Custom Fields. 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-2023-40068/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40068/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40068","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40068/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40068","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-87x7-f7g8-6px2"],"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":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject scripts to compromise admin sessions in Advanced Custom Fields, requiring plugin updates.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"advanced_custom_fields","vendor":"advancedcustomfields"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","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":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Advanced Custom Fields versions 6.1.0 to 6.1.7 and Advanced Custom Fields Pro versions 6.1.0 to 6.1.7 allows a remote authenticated attacker to execute an arbitrary script on the web browser of the user who is logging in to the product with the administrative privilege.","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":"Cross-site scripting in Advanced Custom Fields","id":"CVE-2023-40068","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in WRC-1167GHBK2","id":"CVE-2023-40069"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) CSME","id":"CVE-2023-40067"},"products":["Advanced Custom Fields","Advanced Custom Fields Pro"],"published":"2023-08-21","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Advanced Custom Fields - Contributor+ PHP Object Injection","id":"CVE-2023-1196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-02"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Advanced Custom Fields 5.0-5.12.2 - Unauthenticated File Upload","id":"CVE-2022-2594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Advanced Custom Fields \u003c 6.3 - Contributor+ Custom Field Access","id":"CVE-2024-4565","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Advanced Custom Fields and Advanced Custom Fields Pro","id":"CVE-2021-20865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-13"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Advanced Custom Fields / Advanced Custom Fields PRO plugins \u003c= 6.1.5 vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-30777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Secure Custom Fields \u003c 6.3.6.3 - Admin+ Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2024-9529","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-15"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Advanced Custom Fields","id":"CVE-2022-23183","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-31"}],"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-04","vendors":["WP Engine"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject scripts to compromise admin sessions in Advanced Custom Fields, requiring plugin updates.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40068/"}
