An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, 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-2024-6243 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown HTML Forms . 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-2024-6243/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6243/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6243","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6243/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6243","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4r8x-26vf-3hx6"],"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":"Administrators can inject malicious scripts via form messages in HTML Forms plugin, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"html_forms","vendor":"linksoftwarellc"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","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":"The HTML Forms  WordPress plugin before 1.3.33 does not sanitize and escape the form message inputs, allowing high-privilege users, such as administrators, to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disabled.","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":"HTML Forms \u003c 1.3.33 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6243","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"pz-frontend-manager \u003c 1.0.6 - CSRF change user profile picture","id":"CVE-2024-6244"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Rockwell Automation Chassis Restrictions Bypass Vulnerability in Select Logix Devices","id":"CVE-2024-6242"},"products":["HTML Forms "],"published":"2024-07-22","related":[{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"HTML Forms \u003c 1.3.25 - Admin+ SQLi","id":"CVE-2022-3689","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-28"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress HTML Forms plugin \u003c= 1.5.2 - Cross Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-46236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-22"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"HTML Forms – Simple WordPress Forms Plugin \u003c 1.3.34 - Bulk Delete via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-6412","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"WordPress HTML Forms Plugin \u003c= 1.3.28 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-50836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-28"}],"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":"2024-08-01","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Administrators can inject malicious scripts via form messages in HTML Forms plugin, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6243/"}
