Impact

It is an issue when input HTML into the Tag name. The HTML is execute when the tag name is listed in the auto complete form.
Only admin users are affected and only admin users can create tags.

Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session. Typical impact: session or credential theft, and actions taken as the user.

Affected versions

sulu/sulu (>= 2.0.0, < 2.4.16) sulu/sulu (>= 2.5.0, < 2.5.12)

Security releases

sulu/sulu → 2.4.16 (composer) sulu/sulu → 2.5.12 (composer)

Kodem intelligence

Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.

Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter. Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether this CVE is reachable in your applications.

Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
  2. Which versions of sulu/sulu are affected by CVE-2024-24807? sulu/sulu (composer) versions >= 2.0.0, < 2.4.16 is affected.
  3. Is there a fix for CVE-2024-24807? Yes. CVE-2024-24807 is fixed in 2.4.16, 2.5.12. Upgrade to this version or later.
  4. Is CVE-2024-24807 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-24807 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

  5. What actually determines whether CVE-2024-24807 is exploitable, and how bad it is? Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
  6. How do I fix CVE-2024-24807?
    • Upgrade sulu/sulu to 2.4.16 or later
    • Upgrade sulu/sulu to 2.5.12 or later
