Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-5098 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Campaign Monitor Forms by Optin Cat. 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-2023-5098/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5098/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5098","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5098/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5098","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8jvw-g6jp-rqqp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privilege users can overwrite arbitrary site options, potentially causing denial of service or other issues.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"campaign_monitor_optin_cat","vendor":"fatcatapps"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Campaign Monitor Forms by Optin Cat WordPress plugin before 2.5.6 does not prevent users with low privileges (like subscribers) from overwriting any options on a site with the string \"true\", which could lead to a variety of outcomes, including DoS.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Campaign Monitor Forms \u003c 2.5.6 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Options Update","id":"CVE-2023-5098","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"HTML filter and csv-file search \u003c= 2.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Local File Inclusion via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-5099"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Workforce Access","id":"CVE-2023-5097"},"products":["Campaign Monitor Forms by Optin Cat"],"published":"2023-10-31","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-23","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Low-privilege users can overwrite arbitrary site options, potentially causing denial of service or other issues.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5098/"}
