Impact

The vulnerability is an unauthenticated Cross‑Site Scripting flaw that allows any visitor to inject malicious script into the web pages served by the theme. This flaw is a classic CWE‑79 instance and can lead to compromised user sessions, data theft, or defacement of the site.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the Designthemes "Kids Life | Children School" WordPress theme, specifically all releases up to and including version 5.2.

Risk and Exploitability
