An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-5124 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Page Builder: Pagelayer. 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-2023-5124/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5124/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5124","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5124/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5124","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hpcp-jfj7-rjww"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Administrators can inject malicious JavaScript into post headers or footers, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions in multi-site WordPress configurations.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"pagelayer","vendor":"pagelayer"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Page Builder: Pagelayer WordPress plugin before 1.8.0 doesn't prevent attackers with administrator privileges from inserting malicious JavaScript inside a post's header or footer code, even when unfiltered_html is disallowed, such as in multi-site WordPress configurations.","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":"PageLayer \u003c 1.8.0 - Author+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-5124","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Contact Form by FormGet \u003c= 5.5.5 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-5125"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Path Sanitization in JSON Datasource Plugin","id":"CVE-2023-5123"},"products":["Page Builder: Pagelayer"],"published":"2024-01-29","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35944","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-01"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-01-01"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress PageLayer plugin \u003c= 1.8.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-30465","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-09"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder","id":"CVE-2024-2504","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Page Builder: Pagelayer – Drag and Drop website builder","id":"CVE-2024-2127","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-07"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"PageLayer \u003c 1.7.7 - Unauthenticated Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-4687","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-16"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-36383","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-07"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-22","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Administrators can inject malicious JavaScript into post headers or footers, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions in multi-site WordPress configurations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5124/"}
