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-2024-6498 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Chatbot for WordPress by Collect.chat ⚡️. 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-2024-6498/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6498/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6498","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6498/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6498","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w8pg-hrp7-6jch"],"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":"Admin users can perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks via unsanitized settings in the CollectChat WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"collect.chat","vendor":"micro.company"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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 Chatbot for WordPress by Collect.chat ⚡️ WordPress plugin before 2.4.4 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when unfiltered_html is disallowed","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":"CollectChat \u003c 2.4.4 - Admin+ XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6498","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 Button Plugin MaxButtons \u003c= 9.7.8 - Full Path Disclosure","id":"CVE-2024-6499"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SEO Plugin by Squirrly SEO \u003c= 12.3.19 - Authenticated (Contributor+) SQL Injection via url Parameter","id":"CVE-2024-6497"},"products":["Chatbot for WordPress by Collect.chat ⚡️"],"published":"2024-08-05","related":[],"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":"2024-09-06","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admin users can perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks via unsanitized settings in the CollectChat WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6498/"}
