An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-52196 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Phil Ewels CPT Bootstrap Carousel. 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-2023-52196/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52196/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-52196","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52196/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-52196","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7pjg-9jch-7gjc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in CPT Bootstrap Carousel allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"cpt_bootstrap_carousel","vendor":"ewels"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 Phil Ewels CPT Bootstrap Carousel allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects CPT Bootstrap Carousel: from n/a through 1.12.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"WordPress CPT Bootstrap Carousel Plugin \u003c= 1.12 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-52196","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 Ads Invalid Click Protection Plugin \u003c= 1.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-52197"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Posts to Page Plugin \u003c= 1.7 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-52195"},"products":["CPT Bootstrap Carousel"],"published":"2024-01-08","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":"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":["Phil Ewels"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in CPT Bootstrap Carousel allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-52196/"}
