An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2024-6494 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WordPress File Upload. 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-2024-6494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6494/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6494","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fjrj-vrrh-qjx6"],"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":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized parameters, potentially leading to session hijacking or site defacement.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress_file_upload","vendor":"iptanus"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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 WordPress File Upload WordPress plugin before 4.24.8 does not properly sanitize and escape certain parameters, which could allow unauthenticated users to execute stored cross-site scripting (XSS) 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":"WordPress File Upload \u003c 4.24.8 - Unauthenticated Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6494","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Premium Addons for Elementor – Powerful Elementor Templates \u0026 Widgets","id":"CVE-2024-6495"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"NinjaTeam Header Footer Custom Code \u003c 1.2 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6493"},"products":["WordPress File Upload"],"published":"2024-08-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in Iptanus File Upload","id":"CVE-2024-11613","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress File Upload \u003c= 4.24.12 - Unuathenticated Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2024-11635","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"The WordPress File Upload plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Path Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 4.24.11 via wfu_file_downloader.php.","id":"CVE-2024-9047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-10-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-10564","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"WordPress File Upload \u003c 4.16.3 - Contributor+ Path Traversal to RCE","id":"CVE-2021-24962","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-28"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"WordPress File Upload \u003c= 4.24.13 - Unauthenticated Path Traversal to Arbitrary File Read in wfu_file_downloader.php","id":"CVE-2024-9939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9338","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-22"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized parameters, potentially leading to session hijacking or site defacement.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6494/"}
