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-2023-5809 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Popup box. 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-2023-5809/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5809/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5809","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5809/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5809","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5356-6vfv-g9cf"],"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":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the Popup box plugin, enabling stored XSS attacks in multisite environments.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"popup_box","vendor":"ays-pro"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","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 Popup box WordPress plugin before 3.8.6 does not sanitise 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":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Popup box \u003c 3.8.6 - Admin+ Stored XSS in Categories","id":"CVE-2023-5809","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"flusity CMS posts.php loadPostAddForm cross site scripting","id":"CVE-2023-5810"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in System Management Unit (SMU)","id":"CVE-2023-5808"},"products":["Popup box"],"published":"2023-12-04","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Popup box \u003c 2.3.4 - Authenticated Blind SQL Injections","id":"CVE-2021-24458","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-02"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Popup Like box - Page Plugin \u003c 3.5.3 - Authenticated Blind SQL Injections","id":"CVE-2021-24460","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-02"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Popup box Plugin \u003c= 3.4.4 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-27414","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-21"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Popup Box AYS Pro \u003c 5.5.0 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via CSRF","id":"CVE-2025-15611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-07"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Popup Box \u003c 4.7.8 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-9599","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Popup Box Pro \u003c 20.9.0 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2023-6591","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-12"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admin users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the Popup box plugin, enabling stored XSS attacks in multisite environments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5809/"}
