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-2024-8851 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown Polls CP. 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-2024-8851/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8851/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8851","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8851/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8851","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ccp4-cg9p-v3f5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Admins can inject malicious scripts via poll settings in the Polls CP WordPress plugin, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions in multisite setups.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"polls_cp","vendor":"codepeople"}],"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 Polls CP WordPress plugin before 1.0.77 does not sanitise and escape some of its poll settings, which could allow high privilege users such as admin to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html capability is disallowed (for example in multi site setup).","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":"Polls CP \u003c= 1.0.75 - Admin+ Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-8851","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"All-in-One WP Migration and Backup \u003c= 7.86 - Unauthenticated Information Disclosure via Error Logs","id":"CVE-2024-8852"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"MC4WP: Mailchimp for WordPress 4.9.9 - 4.9.16 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2024-8850"},"products":["Polls CP"],"published":"2025-05-15","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-10395","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-27"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-27"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Polls CP \u003c= 1.0.75 - Admin+ Stored XSS via Custom Styles","id":"CVE-2024-8854","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-15"},{"cvss_score":4.7,"headline":"codepeople cp-polls Plugin cp-admin-int-message-list.inc.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2014-125091","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-04"}],"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":"2025-05-16","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admins can inject malicious scripts via poll settings in the Polls CP WordPress plugin, bypassing unfiltered_html restrictions in multisite setups.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8851/"}
