Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-6279 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Woostify Sites Library. 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-2023-6279/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6279/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-6279","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6279/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-6279","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9xv5-7pc9-8rr3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can update arbitrary blog options via an unprotected AJAX action, potentially causing a denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"sites_library","vendor":"woostify"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Woostify Sites Library WordPress plugin before 1.4.8 does not have authorisation in an AJAX action, allowing any authenticated users, such as subscriber to update arbitrary blog options and set them to 'activated' which could lead to DoS when using a specific option name","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":"Woostify Sites Library \u003c 1.4.8 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Options Update to DoS","id":"CVE-2023-6279","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"XML External Entity Reference on 52North WPS","id":"CVE-2023-6280"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Biteship for WooCommerce \u003c 2.2.25 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-6278"},"products":["Woostify Sites Library"],"published":"2024-01-29","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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can update arbitrary blog options via an unprotected AJAX action, potentially causing a denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6279/"}
