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-2024-13769/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13769/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-13769","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13769/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-13769","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g4wv-wr7g-fq7q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"end_of_life","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated subscribers can inject malicious scripts via missing authorization checks in this discontinued WordPress theme, requiring replacement.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Wordfence","cpe":[{"product":"puzzles","vendor":"themerex"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Puzzles | WP Magazine / Review with Store WordPress Theme + RTL theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting due to a missing capability check on the 'theme_options_ajax_post_action' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 4.2.4.
