Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, 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-2023-40786 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2023-40786/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40786/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40786","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40786/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40786","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rqwx-9gx2-v9q4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HKcms web application","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An XSS vulnerability in HKcms allows attackers to steal administrator cookies, potentially leading to account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"hkcms","vendor":"hkcms"}],"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":"HKcms v2.3.0.230709 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS) allowing administrator cookies to be stolen.","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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40786","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SpringBlade vulnerable to SQL injection","id":"CVE-2023-40787"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40784"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-09-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-52677","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-20"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-25761","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-27"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"HkCms Search index.html cross site scripting","id":"CVE-2025-5013","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-21"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-26","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An XSS vulnerability in HKcms allows attackers to steal administrator cookies, potentially leading to account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40786/"}
