Impact

Improper neutralization of user input during web page generation in Sneeit WordPress FlatNews Theme allows attackers to inject malicious scripts that are reflected back in the browser.

Affected Systems

Sneeit WordPress FlatNews Theme, all releases from the earliest available version up to and including version 5.8.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.1 indicates medium‑to‑high severity. EPSS < 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation at present, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the FlatNews Theme to a version newer than 5.8
  • If an update is not immediately available, sanitize all user input and use WordPress output escaping functions such as esc_html() or esc_url() to prevent reflected payloads
  • Implement a strong Content‑Security‑Policy that restricts script execution to trusted sources to mitigate the impact of any remaining XSS
