An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2023-4290 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Matterport Shortcode. 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-2023-4290/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4290/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4290","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4290/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4290","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gx5h-6g66-6r78"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in WP Matterport Shortcode allows attackers to execute scripts against admins via unescaped PHP_SELF variable.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wp_matterport_shortcode","vendor":"mpembed"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The WP Matterport Shortcode WordPress plugin before 2.1.7 does not escape the PHP_SELF server variable when outputting it in attributes, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting issues which could be used against high privilege users such as admin","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":"WP Matterport Shortcode \u003c 2.1.7 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2023-4290","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Frauscher FDS101 for FAdC/FAdCi remote code execution vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-4291"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WP Matterport Shortcode \u003c 2.1.8 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-4289"},"products":["WP Matterport Shortcode"],"published":"2023-10-16","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress WP Matterport Shortcode Plugin \u003c= 2.1.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-35094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-30"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WP Matterport Shortcode \u003c 2.1.8 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-4289","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-16"}],"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":"Reflected XSS in WP Matterport Shortcode allows attackers to execute scripts against admins via unescaped PHP_SELF variable.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4290/"}
