Description
The Betheme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via an Elementor display setting in all versions up to, and including, 28.1.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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 user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Betheme WordPress theme is affected by a stored cross‑site scripting flaw caused by insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of an Elementor display setting. An attacker with Contributor‑level or higher access can inject arbitrary JavaScript that executes every time a user views the injected page, potentially compromising user accounts, enabling phishing, or distributing malware.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in all MuffinGroup Betheme releases up to and including version 28.1.3. Users running any of these versions should consider themselves affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1 % points to a low probability of exploitation today. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA’s KEV catalog. Although the description specifies the requirement of authenticated Contributor‑level access, the attack path is inferred: an attacker first logs in, then injects script via Elementor settings, and finally relies on victim interaction with the affected page. No public exploit has been reported.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade Betheme to version 28.1.4 or later
  • Revoke Contributor‑level or higher access for users until the theme is updated, limiting the ability to inject scripts
  • Inspect existing Elementor display settings for embedded scripts, clear any suspicious content, and restrict the use of custom scripts to a trusted group
