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-2023-5229 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown E2Pdf. 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-2023-5229/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5229/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5229","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5229/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5229","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m9r2-v6px-98w2"],"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":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts into E2Pdf settings, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"e2pdf","vendor":"e2pdf"}],"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 E2Pdf WordPress plugin before 1.20.20 does not sanitize and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed","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":"E2Pdf \u003c 1.20.20 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scriping","id":"CVE-2023-5229","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"TM WooCommerce Compare \u0026 Wishlist \u003c= 1.1.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-5230"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"User Registration \u003c 3.0.4.2 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-5228"},"products":["E2Pdf"],"published":"2023-10-31","related":[{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"WordPress e2pdf Plugin \u003c= 1.20.23 is vulnerable to SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-50849","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-28"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"E2Pdf \u003c= 1.20.25 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2023-6826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-15"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"WordPress e2pdf Plugin \u003c= 1.20.18 is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection","id":"CVE-2023-46154","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-18"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress e2pdf plugin \u003c= 1.28.09 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-62068","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-22"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress E2Pdf – Export To Pdf Tool for WordPress plugin \u003c= 1.25.05 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-43318","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-18"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress E2Pdf plugin \u003c= 1.20.27 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37415","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-01"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress E2Pdf plugin \u003c= 1.20.27 - Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-31373","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-15"}],"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":"2025-04-23","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"High-privilege users can inject malicious scripts into E2Pdf settings, potentially leading to code execution or account takeover.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5229/"}
