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-2023-43872 exists.\n\nAffected product: Cmsmadesimple Cms Made Simple. 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-2023-43872/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43872/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-43872","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43872/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-43872","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ch95-57m5-v7c9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CMS Made Simple","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can upload a PDF file containing hidden Cross-Site Scripting payloads in CMS Made Simple, potentially executing scripts in victim browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cms_made_simple","vendor":"cmsmadesimple"}],"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":"A File upload vulnerability in CMSmadesimple v.2.2.18 allows a local attacker to upload a pdf file with hidden Cross Site Scripting (XSS).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2023-09-19","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2023-09-19T09:54:42Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/sromanhu/CVE-2023-43872-CMSmadesimple-Arbitrary-File-Upload--XSS---File-Manager","stars":0,"title":"CMSmadesimple 2.2.18 is affected by File Upload - XSS vulnerability that allows attackers to upload a PDF file with a hidden XSS that when executed will launch the XSS pop-up"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43872","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cmsmadesimple:cms_made_simple","products":["cmsmadesimple:cms_made_simple"],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43873"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43871"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-09-28","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4663","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in CMS Made Simple","id":"CVE-2024-1527","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10081","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10085","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000453","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17734","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17735","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-18"}],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-23","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local attacker can upload a PDF file containing hidden Cross-Site Scripting payloads in CMS Made Simple, potentially executing scripts in victim browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43872/"}
