This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a higher privileged user accesses the affected administrative screens. This issue only affects sites with a large number of users.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `WordPress >= 4.7.0 <= 4.7.33`\n- `WordPress >= 4.8.0 <= 4.8.28`\n- `WordPress >= 4.9.0 <= 4.9.29`\n- `WordPress >= 5.0.0 <= 5.0.25`\n- `WordPress >= 5.1.0 <= 5.1.22`\n- `WordPress >= 5.2.0 <= 5.2.24`\n- `WordPress >= 5.3.0 <= 5.3.21`\n- `WordPress >= 5.4.0 <= 5.4.19`\n- `WordPress >= 5.5.0 <= 5.5.18`\n- `WordPress >= 5.6.0 <= 5.6.17`\n- `WordPress >= 5.7.0 <= 5.7.15`\n- `WordPress >= 5.8.0 <= 5.8.13`\n- `WordPress >= 5.9.0 <= 5.9.13`\n- `WordPress >= 6.0.0 <= 6.0.12`\n- `WordPress >= 6.1.0 <= 6.1.10`\n- `WordPress >= 6.2.0 <= 6.2.9`\n- `WordPress >= 6.3.0 <= 6.3.8`\n- `WordPress >= 6.4.0 <= 6.4.8`\n- `WordPress >= 6.5.0 <= 6.5.8`\n- `WordPress >= 6.6.0 <= 6.6.5`\n- `WordPress >= 6.7.0 <= 6.7.5`\n- `WordPress >= 6.8.0 <= 6.8.6`\n- `WordPress >= 6.9.0 <= 6.9.5`\n- `WordPress >= 7.0.0 <= 7.0.2`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":27,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":27,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
