Summary
Admidio Vulnerable to HTML Injection In The Messages Section
Impact
- Data Theft: Stealing sensitive information like cookies, session tokens, and user credentials.
- Session Hijacking: Gaining unauthorized access to user accounts.
- Phishing: Tricking users into revealing sensitive information.
- Website Defacement: Altering the appearance or content of the website.
- Malware Distribution: Spreading malware to users' devices.
- Denial of Service (DoS): Overloading the server with malicious requests.
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.
CVE-2024-47836 has a CVSS score of 3.5 (Low). The vector is network-reachable, low privileges required, and user interaction required. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment. A fixed version is available (4.3.12); upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.

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.

Kodem Kai can prioritize this vulnerability in your dependency tree and generate a fix recommendation.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is CVE-2024-47836? CVE-2024-47836 is a low-severity cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in admidio/admidio (composer), affecting versions < 4.3.12. It is fixed in 4.3.12. Untrusted input is rendered as active markup in a victim's browser, which can run script in their session.
- How severe is CVE-2024-47836? CVE-2024-47836 has a CVSS score of 3.5 (Low). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
- Which versions of admidio/admidio are affected by CVE-2024-47836? admidio/admidio (composer) versions < 4.3.12 is affected.
- Is there a fix for CVE-2024-47836? Yes. CVE-2024-47836 is fixed in 4.3.12. Upgrade to this version or later.
- Is CVE-2024-47836 exploitable, and should I be worried? Whether CVE-2024-47836 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.

- What actually determines whether CVE-2024-47836 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.
- How do I fix CVE-2024-47836? Upgrade
admidio/admidioto 4.3.12 or later.
