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-2024-38698 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SKT Skill Bar. 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-2024-38698/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38698/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38698","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38698/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38698","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-47mw-6wvv-9mwc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the SKT Skill Bar plugin, potentially executing code in the context of other users' browsers.","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 (XSS or 'Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in SKT Themes SKT Skill Bar allows Stored XSS.This issue affects SKT Skill Bar: from n/a through 2.0.","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 SKT Skill Bar plugin \u003c= 2.0 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38698","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 Wallet System for WooCommerce plugin \u003c= 2.5.13 - Sensitive Data Exposure via Exported File vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38699"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Goftino plugin \u003c= 1.6 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38697"},"products":["SKT Skill Bar"],"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":["SKT Themes"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into the SKT Skill Bar plugin, potentially executing code in the context of other users' browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38698/"}
