Description
The Themify Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'height_slider' Slider Module Field in all versions up to, and including, 7.7.6 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 Themify Builder plugin for WordPress contains an unchecked 'height_slider' Slider Module Field that allows authenticated users with contributor or higher privileges to store arbitrary JavaScript. Because the input is not sanitized or properly escaped, the malicious code is persisted to the database and then rendered in the front‑end when any visitor accesses a page containing the affected slider. The stored XSS payload can run in the user’s browser context, enablingacking, or phishing. This flaw is identified as CWE‑79.

Affected Systems

Any WordPress installation running Themify Builder version 7.7.6 or earlier is affected. The vulnerability is active only on sites where the attacker can create or edit sliders, i.e., users with contributor permissions or higher. If a site uses an older plugin, the flaw remains in place until the plugin is upgraded or existing sliders are removed.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.4 indicates moderate severity, but the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests that large‑scale exploitation is currently unlikely. Because the flaw requires authenticated access, attackers must already have site privileges to inject scripts; however, once an injection is made, every visitor that loads the compromised page becomes a victim. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but its impact could be wide if slider.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Themify Builder plugin to any version newer than 7.7.6, where the height_slider field is properly validated and escaped.
  • If a patch cannot be applied immediately, delete all sliders that contain the height_slider module or edit them to remove any JavaScript before publishing.
  • Limit contributor or higher‑privilege access to trusted users only, and consider revoking slider editing rights for accounts that do not require themPress sanitization functions such as wp_kses() or sanitize_text_field() when editing slider content, and configure a browser security policy that blocks inline script execution to mitigate accidental execution.
