Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-5595 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Essential Blocks. 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-2024-5595/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5595/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-5595","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5595/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-5595","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cqm6-fcfw-pfm3"],"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":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via block options in Essential Blocks, leading to stored XSS attacks on WordPress sites.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"essential_blocks","vendor":"wpdeveloper"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The Essential Blocks  WordPress plugin before 4.7.0 does not validate and escape some of its block options before outputting them back in a page/post where the block is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks","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":"Essential Blocks \u003c 4.7.0 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-5595","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"ARMember Premium \u003c= 6.7 - Cross-Site Request Forgery via multiple functions","id":"CVE-2024-5596"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in OpenVPN","id":"CVE-2024-5594"},"products":["Essential Blocks"],"published":"2024-08-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Essential Blocks \u003c 4.4.3 - Unauthenticated Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2023-6623","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-15"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Essential Blocks \u003c= 4.2.0 - Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection via queries","id":"CVE-2023-4386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-20"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Essential Blocks \u003c= 4.2.0 - Unauthenticated PHP Object Injection via products","id":"CVE-2023-4402","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-20"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Essential Blocks for Gutenberg plugin \u003c= 3.8.5 - Broken Access Control","id":"CVE-2022-47594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Essential Blocks plugin \u003c= 4.2.0 - Multiple Subscriber+ Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-51360","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-09"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Essential Blocks plugin \u003c= 4.8.4 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-47385","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-05"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress Essential Blocks plugin \u003c= 4.4.9 - Broken Access Control vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-30467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-09"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via block options in Essential Blocks, leading to stored XSS attacks on WordPress sites.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5595/"}
