Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in themeton Seven Stars allows Stored XSS. This issue affects Seven Stars: from n/a through 1.4.4.
AnalysisAI
Stored cross-site scripting in the Seven Stars WordPress theme by themeton allows unauthenticated attackers to inject malicious scripts into the site that execute when other users-such as admins-view the affected page. The vulnerability affects versions 1.4.4 and earlier, and while no active exploitation has been confirmed, publicly available proof-of-concept exploits likely exist given the nature of stored XSS. CVSS 7.1 indicates high severity, but EPSS estimates only a 0.04% probability of exploitation.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability resides in the WordPress theme Seven Stars (CWE-79). The theme fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before including it in generated web pages, enabling persistent cross-site scripting. Affected products are identified via Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) strings derived from the advisory, covering the WordPress theme from unknown initial version through 1.4.4. The root cause is insufficient output encoding, allowing stored XSS payloads to be embedded in the database and later served to unsuspecting users. This is a classic WordPress theme vulnerability where a theme's handling of dynamic content, such as comments or custom fields, lacks proper escaping.
RemediationAI
Immediately update the Seven Stars theme to a version newer than 1.4.4. The Patchstack advisory likely specifies an exact patched version; if not, the latest available version should be applied. No specific workarounds are detailed, but as a temporary measure, site administrators could disable user-submitted content features (e.g., comments, reviews) that the theme renders without escaping, though this may degrade site interactivity. Alternatively, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) rule to block suspicious script tags can provide some protection until the update is completed. After updating, clear all caches and review any stored content for potential malicious payloads.
