An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-45771 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Contact Form With Captcha. 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-2023-45771/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45771/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-45771","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45771/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-45771","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r99f-79rc-6fjj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the Contact Form With Captcha WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"captcha","vendor":"bestwebsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Contact Form With Captcha allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Contact Form With Captcha: from n/a through 1.6.8.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Contact Form With Captcha plugin \u003c= 1.6.8 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-45771","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Proofreading Plugin \u003c= 1.0.11 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-45772"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Fast WP Speed Plugin \u003c= 1.0.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-45770"},"products":["Contact Form With Captcha"],"published":"2024-03-26","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Captcha","id":"CVE-2017-2171","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-22"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9283","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-03-03"}],"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Contact Form With Captcha"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the Contact Form With Captcha WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-45771/"}
