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-2024-37553 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Axelerant Testimonials Widget. 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-2024-37553/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37553/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-37553","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37553/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-37553","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-463j-vg48-vjm8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Stored XSS in Testimonials Widget allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or site defacement.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"testimonials_widget","vendor":"axelerant"}],"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 (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Axelerant Testimonials Widget allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Testimonials Widget: from n/a through 4.0.4.","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 Testimonials Widget plugin \u003c= 4.0.4 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37553","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 UltraAddons plugin \u003c= 2.0.2 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37554"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Social Media Share Buttons \u0026 Social Sharing Icons plugin \u003c= 2.9.1 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-37552"},"products":["Testimonials Widget"],"published":"2024-07-06","related":[{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Testimonials Widget \u003c= 4.0.4 - Authenticated (Author+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via testimonials Shortcode","id":"CVE-2024-4705","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-06"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Testimonials Widget \u003c 4.0.0 - Multiple Authenticated Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2021-24136","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-18"}],"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":["Axelerant"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in Testimonials Widget allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or site defacement.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-37553/"}
