An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-47868 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: wpForo Forum. 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-2023-47868/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-47868/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-47868","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-47868/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-47868","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4v3r-334q-j7qc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges in the wpForo Forum plugin for WordPress due to improper privilege management.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"wpforo_forum","vendor":"gvectors"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in wpForo wpForo Forum allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects wpForo Forum: from n/a through 2.2.3.","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 wpForo plugin \u003c= 2.2.3 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-47868","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress wpForo plugin \u003c= 2.2.5 - Broken Access Control + CSRF vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-47869"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"MachineSense FeverWarn Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2023-47867"},"products":["wpForo Forum"],"published":"2024-05-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"wpForo Forum \u003c= 2.3.3 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-3200","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-01"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"WordPress wpForo Forum plugin \u003c= 2.0.9 - Auth.
