An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-4022 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Herd Effects. 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-2023-4022/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4022/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4022","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4022/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4022","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w34v-xmqc-qqf3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the Herd Effects WordPress plugin, leading to stored XSS.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"herd_effects","vendor":"wow-company"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Herd Effects WordPress plugin before 5.2.3 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup)","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":"Herd Effects \u003c 5.2.3 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-4022","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"All Users Messenger \u003c= 1.24 - Subscriber+ Message Deletion via IDOR","id":"CVE-2023-4023"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Modern Events Calendar lite \u003c 7.1.0 - Authenticated (Admin+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-4021"},"products":["Herd Effects"],"published":"2023-09-11","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Herd Effects \u003c 5.2.7 - Effect Deletion via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-3478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-02"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Herd Effects \u003c 5.2.4 - Effect Deletion via CSRF","id":"CVE-2023-4318","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-11"}],"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":"2025-04-23","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the Herd Effects WordPress plugin, leading to stored XSS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4022/"}
