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-2023-5228 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown User Registration. 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-2023-5228/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5228/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5228","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5228/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5228","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cfhf-5qvq-2jgj"],"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":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the User Registration plugin, affecting multisite environments.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"user_registration","vendor":"wpeverest"}],"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 User Registration WordPress plugin before 3.0.4.2 does not sanitize and escape some of its settings, which could allow high-privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multisite setup).","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":"User Registration \u003c 3.0.4.2 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-5228","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"E2Pdf \u003c 1.20.20 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scriping","id":"CVE-2023-5229"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type in thorsten/phpmyfaq","id":"CVE-2023-5227"},"products":["User Registration"],"published":"2023-11-06","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"User Registration \u003c= 3.0.2 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2023-3342","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"User Registration \u003c= 3.0.1 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) PHP Object Injection","id":"CVE-2023-3343","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"User Registration \u003c 2.2.4.1 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2022-3912","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-12"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in User Registration \u0026 Membership – Free \u0026 Paid Memberships, Subscriptions, Content Restriction, User Profile, Custom User Registration \u0026 Login Builder","id":"CVE-2025-1511","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-28"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress User Registration Plugin \u003c= 2.3.0 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-23987","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-06"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"User Registration \u003c 2.0.2 - Low Privilege Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-24654","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-04"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress User Registration plugin \u003c= 2.3.2.1 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-29429","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-09"}],"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":"2025-02-26","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the User Registration plugin, affecting multisite environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5228/"}
