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-2024-50462 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: html5maps Interactive World Map. 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-2024-50462/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50462/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-50462","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50462/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-50462","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hr79-p2m4-h6xg"],"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":"Stored XSS in Interactive World Map 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":[],"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 html5maps Interactive World Map interactive-world-map allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Interactive World Map: from n/a through \u003c= 3.4.4.","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 Interactive World Map plugin \u003c= 3.4.4 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50462","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 Sunshine Photo Cart plugin \u003c= 3.2.9 - Open Redirection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50463"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress EmbedPress plugin \u003c= 4.0.14 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50461"},"products":["Interactive World Map"],"published":"2024-10-28","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":"2026-05-11","vendors":["html5maps"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in Interactive World Map plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50462/"}
