Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-38715 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ExS Widgets. 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-2024-38715/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38715/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38715","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38715/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38715","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ccq5-7696-jwhq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the ExS Widgets plugin to perform local file inclusion, potentially reading sensitive files or executing code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"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:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in ExS ExS Widgets allows PHP Local File Inclusion.This issue affects ExS Widgets: from n/a through 0.3.1.","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 ExS Widgets plugin \u003c= 0.3.1 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38715","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Events Calendar for Google plugin \u003c= 2.1.0 - Local File Inclusion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38716"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP Fast Total Search \u003c= 1.68.232 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38714"},"products":["ExS Widgets"],"published":"2024-07-12","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":["ExS"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the ExS Widgets plugin to perform local file inclusion, potentially reading sensitive files or executing code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38715/"}
