Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-38727 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source. 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-2024-38727/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38727/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38727","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38727/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38727","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gg6x-vxmp-7wc5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"Missing Authorization vulnerability in Seraphinite Solutions Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source allows Exploiting Incorrectly Configured Access Control Security Levels.This issue affects Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source: from n/a through 2.16.9.","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 Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source plugin \u003c= 2.16.9 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38727","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source plugin \u003c= 2.16.9 - Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38728"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Product Designer plugin \u003c= 1.0.33 - Arbitrary Content Deletion vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38726"},"products":["Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source"],"published":"2024-11-01","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":["Seraphinite Solutions"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass access controls in the Seraphinite Post .DOCX Source WordPress plugin to perform unauthorized actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38727/"}
