An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-22163 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking \u0026 Intrusion Prevention Security. 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-2024-22163/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22163/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-22163","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22163/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-22163","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3g98-33qx-2q68"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress security plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Shield Security WordPress plugin, potentially compromising user sessions and site integrity.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"shield_security","vendor":"getshieldsecurity"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Shield Security Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking \u0026 Intrusion Prevention Security allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking \u0026 Intrusion Prevention Security: from n/a through 18.5.7.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress Shield Security Plugin \u003c= 18.5.7 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2024-22163","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of Service of an Investigation in Splunk Enterprise Security through Investigation attachments","id":"CVE-2024-22164"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WPZOOM Shortcodes Plugin \u003c= 1.0.3 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2024-22162"},"products":["Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking \u0026 Intrusion Prevention Security"],"published":"2024-01-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Shield Security – Smart Bot Blocking \u0026 Intrusion Prevention Security \u003c= 18.5.9 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2023-6989","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-05"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Shield Security \u003c= 17.0.17 - Unauthenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-0992","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-09"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Shield Security \u003c 20.0.6 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2024-7313","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-26"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"Shield Security \u003c 13.0.6 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2022-0211","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-21"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Shield Security \u003c= 17.0.17 - Missing Authorization","id":"CVE-2023-0993","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-09"}],"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":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Shield Security"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Shield Security WordPress plugin, potentially compromising user sessions and site integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22163/"}
