AI Analysis

Impact

The WordPress theme for Dream‑Theme contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw in the ‘the7_fancy_title_css’ parameter. Unsanitized input allows an attacker who can log in as a Contributor or higher to inject arbitrary JavaScript that will execute whenever a victim views an affected page. This capability can enable defacement, credential theft, session hijacking, or other client‑side compromise actions. The vulnerability is a classic input validation weakness (CWE‑79).

Affected Systems

All releases of Dream‑Theme’s The7 theme through version 12.9.1, including all earlier builds, are susceptible.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 classifies the flaw as moderate severity. EPSS indicates an exploitation probability of less than 1 %. The exploit requires authenticated access with Contributor privileges and the ability to modify theme settings, so it may not be widely available to anonymous attackers. The vulnerability is not in CISA’s KEV catalog, suggesting that mass‐deployment of attack code has not been observed yet.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update The7 theme to version 12.9.2 or later, which removes the vulnerable parameter handling.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, restrict Contributor accounts or remove Contributor privileges until the patch is applied.
  • Review existing content for injected scripts and sanitize or delete the ‘the7_fancy_title_css’ values in the database; consider applying a site‑wide Content‑Security‑Policy header to mitigate client‑side XSS.
