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-2023-48743 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Paul Menard Simply Exclude. 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-2023-48743/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48743/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-48743","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48743/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-48743","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r62v-3rcm-gf6j"],"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 Simply Exclude WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"simply_exclude","vendor":"codehooligans"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/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 Paul Menard Simply Exclude allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Simply Exclude: from n/a through 2.0.6.6.","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 Simply Exclude Plugin \u003c= 2.0.6.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-48743","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 Availability Calendar Plugin \u003c= 1.2.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-48744"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress License Manager for WooCommerce Plugin \u003c= 2.2.10 is vulnerable to SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-48742"},"products":["Simply Exclude"],"published":"2023-11-30","related":[],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Paul Menard"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in victim browsers via reflected XSS in the Simply Exclude WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48743/"}
