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-2024-8050 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Custom Author Base. 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-2024-8050/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8050/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8050","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8050/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8050","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v884-m573-754j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can trick logged-in admins into changing plugin settings via CSRF, requiring an upgrade to the Custom Author Base WordPress plugin.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"custom_author_base","vendor":"jfarthing"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"The Custom Author Base WordPress plugin through 1.1.1 does not have CSRF check in place when updating its settings, which could allow attackers to make a logged in admin change them via a CSRF attack","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":"Custom Author Base \u003c= 1.1.1 - Settings Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-8050","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"csrf","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Special Feed Items \u003c= 1.0.1 - Stored XSS via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-8051"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Telerik Document Processing Improper Handling of Memory Resources","id":"CVE-2024-8049"},"products":["Custom Author Base"],"published":"2025-05-15","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":"2025-05-20","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Attackers can trick logged-in admins into changing plugin settings via CSRF, requiring an upgrade to the Custom Author Base WordPress plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8050/"}
