An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-4142 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: smackcoders WP Ultimate CSV Importer – Import CSV, XML \u0026 Excel into WordPress. 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-2023-4142/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4142/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4142","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4142/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4142","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7j49-h82v-67c9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated authors can execute arbitrary code via the cus1 parameter if file import access is granted in plugin settings.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[{"product":"wp_ultimate_csv_importer","vendor":"smackcoders"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The WP Ultimate CSV Importer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Remote Code Execution in versions up to, and including, 7.9.8 via the '-\u003ecus1' parameter.
