An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-51372 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HasThemes HashBar – WordPress Notification Bar. 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-2023-51372/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51372/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-51372","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51372/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-51372","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w8pm-g6gf-4v9x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Stored XSS in HashBar WordPress Notification Bar allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"hashbar","vendor":"hasthemes"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 HasThemes HashBar – WordPress Notification Bar allows Stored XSS.This issue affects HashBar – WordPress Notification Bar: from n/a through 1.4.1.","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 HashBar – WordPress Notification Bar Plugin \u003c= 1.4.1 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-51372","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 Google Photos Gallery with Shortcodes Plugin \u003c= 4.0.2 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-51373"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Bit Assist Plugin \u003c= 1.1.9 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-51371"},"products":["HashBar – WordPress Notification Bar"],"published":"2023-12-29","related":[{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"HashBar – WordPress Notification Bar \u003c 1.3.6 - Contributor+ Stored XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2022-4650","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-23"}],"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":["HasThemes"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in HashBar WordPress Notification Bar allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-51372/"}
