An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2023-5239 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-5239 is a high-severity vulnerability in Unknown Security \u0026 Malware scan by CleanTalk, published on 27 Nov 2023. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-5239 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Security \u0026 Malware scan by CleanTalk. 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-2023-5239/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5239/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5239","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5239/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5239","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-589p-x4q3-2jh3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress security plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can spoof IP addresses via untrusted headers to bypass brute force protection in the CleanTalk WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"security_\\\u0026_malware_scan","vendor":"cleantalk"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Security \u0026 Malware scan by CleanTalk WordPress plugin before 2.121 retrieves client IP addresses from potentially untrusted headers, allowing an attacker to manipulate its value.
