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-2024-8857 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WordPress Auction Plugin. 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-2024-8857/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8857/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8857","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8857/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8857","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f8c3-q6gm-6v3x"],"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":"Editors can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the WordPress Auction plugin, leading to stored XSS attacks.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"wordpress_auction","vendor":"wpmarka"}],"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 WordPress Auction Plugin WordPress plugin through 3.7 does not sanitise and escape some of its settings, which could allow high privilege users such as editors 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":"WordPress Auction \u003c= 3.7 - Editor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-8857","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 Livemesh Addons by Elementor","id":"CVE-2024-8858"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Backup and Staging by WP Time Capsule \u003c= 1.22.21 - Unauthenticated Arbitrary File Upload","id":"CVE-2024-8856"},"products":["WordPress Auction Plugin"],"published":"2025-01-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"WordPress Auction \u003c= 3.7 - Editor+ SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2024-8855","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-07"}],"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":"2025-01-07","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Editors can inject malicious scripts via unsanitized settings in the WordPress Auction plugin, leading to stored XSS attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8857/"}
