An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-50516 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: adamskaat Countdown \u0026 Clock. 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-2024-50516/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50516/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-50516","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50516/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-50516","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6qgf-95ch-q924"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Stored XSS in Countdown \u0026 Clock 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":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 adamskaat Countdown \u0026 Clock countdown-builder allows Stored XSS.This issue affects Countdown \u0026 Clock: from n/a through \u003c= 3.0.8.","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 Countdown \u0026 Clock plugin \u003c= 3.0.8 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50516","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 ID-SK Toolkit plugin \u003c= 1.7.2 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-50517"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Ninja Forms","id":"CVE-2024-50515"},"products":["Countdown \u0026 Clock"],"published":"2024-11-19","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":["adamskaat"]},"summary":"Stored XSS in Countdown \u0026 Clock plugin allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by other users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-50516/"}
