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-2024-3188 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate. 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-2024-3188/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-3188/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-3188","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-3188/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-3188","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-27hf-w6wm-652c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes, leading to stored XSS attacks on WordPress sites using this plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"shortcodes_ultimate","vendor":"getshortcodes"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate WordPress plugin before 7.1.0 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above 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":"Shortcodes Ultimate \u003c 7.1.0 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-3188","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Kadence Blocks — Page Builder Toolkit for Gutenberg Editor","id":"CVE-2024-3189"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in GoAhead","id":"CVE-2024-3187"},"products":["WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate"],"published":"2024-04-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-18580","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-22"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress Shortcodes Ultimate Plugin \u003c= 5.12.6 is vulnerable to Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2023-23800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Shortcodes Ultimate Plugin \u003c= 5.12.6 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-25040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-30"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Shortcodes Ultimate \u003c 5.12.8 - Subscriber+ Arbitrary Post Access","id":"CVE-2023-0890","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-20"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Shortcodes Ultimate \u003c 5.12.8 - Subscriber+ User Meta Disclosure","id":"CVE-2023-0911","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-20"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Shortcodes Ultimate \u003c= 7.4.0 - Authenticted (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'data-url' Attribute","id":"CVE-2025-5567","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-04"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in WP Shortcodes Plugin — Shortcodes Ultimate","id":"CVE-2024-4821","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-05"}],"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":"2024-08-01","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes, leading to stored XSS attacks on WordPress sites using this plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-3188/"}
