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-2024-8968 exists.\n\nAffected product: Unknown WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons. 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-2024-8968/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8968/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8968","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8968/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8968","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hv8c-r4r9-rxwp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Admins can inject malicious scripts via text color settings in MaxButtons, leading to stored XSS attacks.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WPScan","cpe":[{"product":"maxbuttons","vendor":"maxfoundry"}],"cvss":{"score":4.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"The WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons WordPress plugin before 9.8.1 does not sanitise and escape some of its 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 multisite 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":"MaxButtons \u003c 9.8.1 - Admin+ Stored XSS via Text Color","id":"CVE-2024-8968","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"The SYSCOM Group OMFLOW - Exposure of Sensitive Data","id":"CVE-2024-8969"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in PWA — easy way to Progressive Web App","id":"CVE-2024-8967"},"products":["WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons"],"published":"2024-12-20","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"WordPress MaxButtons Plugin \u003c= 9.5.3 is vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2023-36503","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-25"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons \u003c= 9.7.6 - Authenticated(Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via shortcode","id":"CVE-2023-7029","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-05"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons \u003c 9.7.8 - Editor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-3026","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-13"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons \u003c= 9.7.8 - Full Path Disclosure","id":"CVE-2024-6499","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-24"},{"cvss_score":4.8,"headline":"MaxButtons \u003c 9.8.1 - Admin+ Stored XSS via Button Width","id":"CVE-2024-10555","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-20"},{"cvss_score":4.4,"headline":"WordPress Button Plugin MaxButtons \u003c= 9.7.4 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting","id":"CVE-2023-6594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-09"}],"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":"2024-12-20","vendors":["Unknown"]},"summary":"Admins can inject malicious scripts via text color settings in MaxButtons, leading to stored XSS attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8968/"}
