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-2024-13926 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP-Syntax. 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-2024-13926/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13926/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-13926","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13926/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-13926","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p6jq-9gcc-mcvx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by submitting posts with many tags, exploiting regex backtracking in the WP-Syntax plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wp-syntax","vendor":"connections-pro"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1333","name":"Inefficient Regular Expression Complexity"}],"description":"The WP-Syntax WordPress plugin through 1.2 does not properly handle input, allowing an attacker to create a post containing a large number of tags, thereby exploiting a catastrophic backtracking issue in the regular expression processing to cause a DoS.","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":"WP-Syntax \u003c= 1.2 - Author+ Potential ReDoS","id":"CVE-2024-13926","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Authenticated SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-13928"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Klarna Checkout for WooCommerce \u003c 2.13.5 - DoS via Excessive Logging","id":"CVE-2024-13925"},"products":["WP-Syntax"],"published":"2025-04-19","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":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-08-27","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"An attacker can cause a denial of service by submitting posts with many tags, exploiting regex backtracking in the WP-Syntax plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-13926/"}
