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-2024-50440 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Chris Coyier CodePen Embedded Pens Shortcode. 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-2024-50440/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50440/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-50440","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50440/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-50440","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-329m-37p4-j9m8"],"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":"A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the CodePen Embedded Pens Shortcode plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"codepen","vendor":"codepen"}],"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 ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Chris Coyier CodePen Embedded Pens Shortcode codepen-embedded-pen-shortcode allows Stored XSS.This issue affects CodePen Embedded Pens Shortcode: from n/a through \u003c= 1.0.2.","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 CodePen Embedded Pens Shortcode plugin \u003c= 1.0.2 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50440","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 Cozy Blocks plugin \u003c= 2.0.15 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50441"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Astra Widgets plugin \u003c= 1.2.14 - Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50439"},"products":["CodePen Embedded Pens Shortcode"],"published":"2024-10-28","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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["Chris Coyier"]},"summary":"A stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the CodePen Embedded Pens Shortcode plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50440/"}
