Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, 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-2024-2404 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Better Comments. 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-2024-2404/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-2404/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-2404","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-2404/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-2404","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ccjp-7c97-jmxf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings, leading to stored XSS attacks in the Better Comments WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"better_comments","vendor":"utopique"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 Better Comments WordPress plugin before 1.5.6 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow low privilege users such as Subscribers to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks.","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":"Better Comments \u003c 1.5.6 - Subscriber+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-2404","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Float menu \u003c 6.0.1 - Menu Deletion via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-2405"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Remote Desktop Manager","id":"CVE-2024-2403"},"products":["Better Comments"],"published":"2024-04-24","related":[{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Better Comments \u003c 1.5.6 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-2402","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-24"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-09","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Low-privilege users can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings, leading to stored XSS attacks in the Better Comments WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-2404/"}
