Description
The Themify Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'css[fonts]' Parameter in all versions up to, and including, 7.8.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The nonce required to reach the vulnerable endpoint is embedded in plain sight within the front-end page markup for all visitors, reducing the access control to a CSRF token rather than an authentication barrier and making the endpoint fully exploitable by unauthenticated attackers.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Themify Builder plugin allows a stored cross‑site scripting flaw because the value supplied to the css[fonts] parameter is not sanitized or escaped before being written to the database. An attacker can inject JavaScript that will execute in the browser whenever a user views a page containing the injected content. The injected script runs in the context of the site, giving the attacker the ability to steal cookies, hijack sessions, deface the site, or spread malware to visitors. The flaw is not a privilege escalation; anyone can inject the payload once the vulnerable endpoint is reached.

Affected Systems

WordPress sites that have the Themify Builder plugin installed, specifically any release up to and including version 7.8.1. The plugin is offered by themifyme as Themify Builder.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.2 marks the vulnerability with high severity. The EPSS score is not available, and it is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The attack vector is inferred to be unauthenticated because the necessary nonce is embedded in the page markup and exposed to all visitors, effectively removing authentication barriers. Once a payload is stored, every subsequent visitor executing the page will run the injected code, which can result in widespread compromise of users and the site itself.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Install the latest release of Themify Builder that incorporates the stored XSS fix; the vulnerability is present in all versions up to 7.8.1 and is resolved in newer releases.
  • If an upgrade cannot be performed immediately, disable or remove the ability to add custom font values via the css[fonts] option in the builder, or manually scrub existing font entries in the database to eliminate any stored malicious code.
  • Configure a web application firewall or similar filtering rule to block or sanitize payloads that attempt to inject JavaScript through the css[fonts] parameter to provide a temporary barrier until the plugin is updated.
