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-2023-49172 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: BrainCert – HTML5 Virtual Classroom. 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-2023-49172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-49172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49172/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-49172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-65mr-mxqp-9fgc"],"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":"Reflected XSS in BrainCert WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"virtual_classroom_api","vendor":"braincert"}],"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 BrainCert BrainCert – HTML5 Virtual Classroom allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects BrainCert – HTML5 Virtual Classroom: from n/a through 1.30.","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 BrainCert – HTML5 Virtual Classroom Plugin \u003c= 1.30 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49172","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 10to8 Online Appointment Booking System Plugin \u003c= 1.0.9 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49173"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Innovs HR Plugin \u003c= 1.0.3.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49171"},"products":["BrainCert – HTML5 Virtual Classroom"],"published":"2023-12-14","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["BrainCert"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in BrainCert WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49172/"}
