Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-52438 exists.\n\nAffected product: deco.agency de:branding. 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-2024-52438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-52438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52438/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-52438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r8j6-4hrp-v4w7"],"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 missing authentication on critical functions in the de:branding WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Patchstack","cpe":[],"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-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"Missing Authentication for Critical Function vulnerability in deco.agency de:branding debranding allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects de:branding: 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":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"WordPress de:branding plugin \u003c= 1.0.2 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-52438","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WordPress Team Rosters plugin \u003c= 4.8.2 - PHP Object Injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-52439"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Banner System plugin \u003c= 1.0.0 - Privilege Escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-52437"},"products":["de:branding"],"published":"2024-11-20","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":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-04-28","vendors":["deco.agency"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges due to missing authentication on critical functions in the de:branding WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52438/"}
