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-2024-50501 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Climax Themes Kata Plus. 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-2024-50501/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50501/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-50501","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50501/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-50501","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fm77-2jxq-m577"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A DOM-based XSS vulnerability in the Kata Plus WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[{"product":"kata_plus","vendor":"climaxthemes"}],"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 Climax Themes Kata Plus kata-plus allows DOM-Based XSS.This issue affects Kata Plus: from n/a through \u003c= 1.4.7.","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 Kata Plus plugin \u003c= 1.4.7 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50501","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= 2.0.18 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50502"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Phlox Core Elements plugin \u003c= 2.17.4 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50500"},"products":["Kata Plus"],"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":["Climax Themes"]},"summary":"A DOM-based XSS vulnerability in the Kata Plus WordPress plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50501/"}
