An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-37253 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: WpDirectoryKit WP Directory Kit. 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-2024-37253/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37253/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-37253","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37253/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-37253","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g9q5-4m64-fpgc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious HTML or scripts into the WP Directory Kit plugin, potentially leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"wp_directory_kit","vendor":"wpdirectorykit"}],"cvss":{"score":2.7,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"},{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"}],"description":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') vulnerability in WpDirectoryKit WP Directory Kit allows Code Injection.This issue affects WP Directory Kit: from n/a through 1.3.6.","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 WPDirectoryKit plugin \u003c= 1.3.6 - HTML Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37253","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 WP File Manager plugin \u003c= 7.2.7 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37254"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Email Subscribers by Icegram Express plugin \u003c= 5.7.25 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37252"},"products":["WP Directory Kit"],"published":"2024-07-09","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c= 1.4.4 - Authentication Bypass to Privilege Escalation via Account Takeover","id":"CVE-2025-13390","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c= 1.1.9 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion via wdk_public_action","id":"CVE-2023-2278","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WP Directory Kit \u003c= 1.3.0 - Authenticated (Subscriber+) SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-3217","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-05"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress WP Directory Kit plugin \u003c= 1.3.5 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37487","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-21"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"WordPress WP Directory Kit plugin \u003c= 1.2.9 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-29774","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-27"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in WP Directory Kit","id":"CVE-2023-2351","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in WP Directory Kit","id":"CVE-2023-2280","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":["WpDirectoryKit"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious HTML or scripts into the WP Directory Kit plugin, potentially leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37253/"}
