Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-49837 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: David Artiss Code Embed. 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-2023-49837/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49837/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-49837","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49837/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-49837","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qw3x-hp2h-3hcq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in WordPress sites using the Code Embed plugin due to uncontrolled resource consumption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"code_embed","vendor":"davidartiss"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption vulnerability in David Artiss Code Embed.This issue affects Code Embed: from n/a through 2.3.6.","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 embed-code plugin \u003c= 2.3.6 - Denial of Service Attack vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-49837","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in multiple themes by KlbTheme","id":"CVE-2023-49838"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Cookie Bar Plugin \u003c= 2.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-49836"},"products":["Code Embed"],"published":"2024-03-21","related":[{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Code Embed \u003c= 2.4 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-8804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-04"}],"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":["David Artiss"]},"summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service in WordPress sites using the Code Embed plugin due to uncontrolled resource consumption.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-49837/"}
