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-2024-6859 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WP MultiTasking. 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-2024-6859/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6859/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-6859","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6859/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-6859","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mf53-vhfr-cjjw"],"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 shortcode attributes, leading to cross-site scripting attacks against site visitors.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wp_multitasking","vendor":"ngothang"}],"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 WP MultiTasking  WordPress plugin through 0.1.12 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode 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":"WP MultiTasking \u003c= 0.1.12 - Reflected XSS via Shortcode","id":"CVE-2024-6859","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"WP MultiTasking \u003c= 0.1.12 - Permalink Suffix Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-6860"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in EOS","id":"CVE-2024-6858"},"products":["WP MultiTasking"],"published":"2024-09-08","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WP MultiTasking \u003c= 0.1.12 - Settings Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-6852","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WP MultiTasking \u003c= 0.1.12 - Welcome Popup Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-6853","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WP MultiTasking \u003c= 0.1.12 - Exit Popup Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-6855","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-08"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WP MultiTasking \u003c= 0.1.12 - SMTP Settings Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-6856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-08"},{"cvss_score":4.4,"headline":"WP MultiTasking - WP Utilities \u003c= 0.1.17 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-8189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-28"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"WP MultiTasking \u003c= 0.1.12 - Header/Footer/Body Script Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-6857","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-09"}],"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":"2024-09-09","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Contributors can inject malicious scripts via shortcode attributes, leading to cross-site scripting attacks against site visitors.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-6859/"}
