An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-38685 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SubscriptionPro WP Announcement. 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-2024-38685/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38685/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38685","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38685/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38685","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qv6h-284f-5rfg"],"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":"high_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the WP Announcement plugin, potentially stealing user sessions or executing code in victim browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 SubscriptionPro WP Announcement allows Stored XSS.This issue affects WP Announcement: from n/a through 2.0.8.","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 WP Announcement plugin \u003c= 2.0.8 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38685","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 FancyPost plugin \u003c= 5.3.1 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38686"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress SlingBlocks plugin \u003c= 1.4.1 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38684"},"products":["WP Announcement"],"published":"2024-07-20","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":["SubscriptionPro"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the WP Announcement plugin, potentially stealing user sessions or executing code in victim browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38685/"}
