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-2024-6517 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Contact Form 7 Math Captcha. 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-2024-6517/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6517/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6517","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6517/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6517","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gv8g-hw9g-385h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Reflected XSS in Contact Form 7 Math Captcha allows attackers to execute scripts against high-privilege users via unsanitized parameters.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"contact_form_7_math_captcha","vendor":"dotsquares"}],"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 Contact Form 7 Math Captcha WordPress plugin through 2.0.1 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2024/CVE-2024-6517.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Contact Form 7 Math Captcha \u003c= 2.0.1 - Cross-site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Contact Form 7 Math Captcha \u003c= 2.0.1 - Reflected XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6517","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 Fluent Forms – Customizable Contact Forms, Survey, Quiz, \u0026 Conversational Form Builder","id":"CVE-2024-6518"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross Site Scripting XSS","id":"CVE-2024-6516"},"products":["Contact Form 7 Math Captcha"],"published":"2024-09-26","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-14","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Reflected XSS in Contact Form 7 Math Captcha allows attackers to execute scripts against high-privilege users via unsanitized parameters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6517/"}
