Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-49179 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: N.O.U.S. Open Useful and Simple Event post. 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-2023-49179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-49179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49179/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-49179","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9wp4-f6mp-cqfw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Event post plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"event_post","vendor":"avecnous"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 N.O.U.S. Open Useful and Simple Event post allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Event post: from n/a through 5.8.6.","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 Event post Plugin \u003c= 5.8.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49179","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 Automatic Youtube Video Posts Plugin Plugin \u003c= 5.2.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49180"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress HDW Player Plugin (Video Player \u0026 Video Gallery) Plugin \u003c= 5.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49178"},"products":["Event post"],"published":"2023-12-15","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Event post plugin \u003c= 5.9.11 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46228","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Event Post \u003c= 5.9.6 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via events_cal Shortcode","id":"CVE-2024-10186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-06"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Event post \u003c= 5.9.4 - Missing Authorization","id":"CVE-2024-1376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-24"}],"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":["N.O.U.S. Open Useful and Simple"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Event post plugin, potentially compromising user sessions or site integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49179/"}
