An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-13853 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown SEO Tools. 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-2024-13853/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13853/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-13853","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13853/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-13853","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rw47-3hmf-cmhq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized parameters, potentially compromising admin accounts in the SEO Tools WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"seo_tools","vendor":"zynit"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 SEO Tools WordPress plugin through 4.0.7 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2024/CVE-2024-13853.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress SEO Tools Plugin 4.0.7 - Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"SEO Tools \u003c= 4.0.7 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2024-13853","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Education Addon for Elementor","id":"CVE-2024-13854"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Option Editor \u003c= 1.0 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Arbitrary Options Update","id":"CVE-2024-13852"},"products":["SEO Tools"],"published":"2025-03-11","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-11","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized parameters, potentially compromising admin accounts in the SEO Tools WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13853/"}
