Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-33540 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ThemeGrill ColorNews. 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-2024-33540/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-33540/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-33540","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-33540/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-33540","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7f66-fgh3-955x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress theme","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the ColorNews theme, potentially stealing user data or hijacking sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 ThemeGrill ColorNews allows Stored XSS.This issue affects ColorNews: from n/a through 1.2.6.","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 ColorNews theme \u003c= 1.2.6 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-33540","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Better Elementor Addons plugin \u003c= 1.4.1 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-33541"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WPZOOM Addons for Elementor plugin \u003c= 1.1.35 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-33539"},"products":["ColorNews"],"published":"2024-04-29","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":["ThemeGrill"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the ColorNews theme, potentially stealing user data or hijacking sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-33540/"}
