An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-11972 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Hunk Companion. 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-2024-11972/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-11972/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-11972","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-11972/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-11972","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pp53-3m4v-vvmw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can install and activate arbitrary plugins via REST API, potentially leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"hunk_companion","vendor":"themehunk"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Hunk Companion WordPress plugin before 1.9.0 does not correctly authorize some REST API endpoints, allowing unauthenticated requests to install and activate arbitrary Hunk Companion WordPress plugin before 1.9.0 from the WordPress.org repo, including vulnerable Hunk Companion WordPress plugin before 1.9.0 that have been closed.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2025-01-13","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2025-01-13T15:44:08Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/RonF98/CVE-2024-11972-POC","stars":1,"title":"CVE-2024-11972 in Hunk Companion \u003c1.9.0 allows unauthenticated attackers to exploit insecure REST API endpoints and install vulnerable plugins, risking RCE, SQLi, XSS, and backdoors."},{"date":"2025-01-29T21:17:02Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Nxploited/CVE-2024-11972-PoC","stars":0,"title":"Hunk Companion \u003c 1.9.0 - Unauthenticated Plugin Installation"},{"date":"2025-04-18","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"52259","stars":null,"title":"Hunk Companion Plugin 1.9.0 - Unauthenticated Plugin Installation"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2024/CVE-2024-11972.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Hunk Companion \u003c 1.9.0 - Unauthenticated Plugin Installation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Hunk Companion \u003c 1.9.0 - Unauthenticated Plugin Installation","id":"CVE-2024-11972","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Quran multilanguage Text \u0026 Audio \u003c= 2.3.21 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via sourate and lang Parameters","id":"CVE-2024-11973"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Guizhou Xiaoma Technology jpress Avatar upload cross site scripting","id":"CVE-2024-11971"},"products":["Hunk Companion"],"published":"2024-12-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hunk Companion \u003c= 1.8.4 - Missing Authorization to Unauthenticated Arbitrary Plugin Installation/Activation","id":"CVE-2024-9707","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-11"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-12-31","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can install and activate arbitrary plugins via REST API, potentially leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-11972/"}
