Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-49608 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: GERRYWORKS Post by Mail. 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-2024-49608/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49608/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-49608","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49608/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-49608","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mx32-2vgp-xjrv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment in the GERRYWORKS Post by Mail WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"gerryworks_post_by_mail","vendor":"gerryntabuhashe"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in gerryworks GERRYWORKS Post by Mail gerryworks-post-by-mail allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects GERRYWORKS Post by Mail: from n/a through \u003c= 1.0.","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 GERRYWORKS Post by Mail plugin \u003c= 1.0 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49608","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Author Discussion plugin \u003c= 0.2.2 - SQL Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49609"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP Dropbox Dropins plugin \u003c= 1.0 - Arbitrary File Upload vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-49607"},"products":["GERRYWORKS Post by Mail"],"published":"2024-10-20","related":[],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["gerryworks"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges due to incorrect privilege assignment in the GERRYWORKS Post by Mail WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-49608/"}
