2 techniques across 2 tactics: Initial Access, Execution

The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up.

Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires all three of the following conditions to be simultaneously true: (1) The attacker holds a WordPress user account with administrator-level permissions or above on the target site; (2) The targeted WordPress installation is either a multisite network or has had the unfiltered_html capability explicitly disabled - standard single-site installs with default settings are NOT affected; (3) The Orbit Fox plugin version is 3.0.6 or earlier and the menu-icons module is active. What limits exploitation: the high privilege requirement (PR:H) means external attackers must first fully compromise an admin account before this flaw is reachable; the configuration constraint (AC:H) means the majority of standard single-site WordPress deployments are entirely unaffected; and successful XSS execution still requires a victim user to visit the injected page (UI:R in practice).

Impact

The provided CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) and score of 4.4 accurately convey a constrained but real risk. PR:H confirms exploitation requires administrator-level credentials, which severely limits the attacker pool. AC:H reflects that the vulnerability is only relevant under specific non-default or administratively-restricted configurations (multisite or unfiltered_html disabled). The S:C (Scope Changed) metric is significant: a compromised admin account injecting XSS can escalate impact to ordinary site visitors - enabling session hijacking, credential phishing, or malware delivery to a broader user base, regardless of the admin's own limited privileges in a restricted environment. No EPSS data was provided in the source intelligence, and the vulnerability carries no CISA KEV designation and no known public exploit. The realistic threat actor is a malicious or compromised administrator on a specifically-configured WordPress deployment, not an external opportunistic attacker. This is a low-probability, moderate-consequence issue for affected configurations - organizations running multisite WordPress with this plugin should prioritize patching, while standard single-site installs with unfiltered_html intact are not affected.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A threat actor who has obtained administrator credentials on a WordPress multisite installation running Orbit Fox 3.0.6 or earlier navigates to the plugin's menu icons settings and injects a JavaScript payload into an insufficiently sanitized input field. The payload is stored in the database and executes in the browser of any user - including lower-privileged editors or subscribers - who subsequently visits a page where the injected menu icon is rendered, potentially harvesting session cookies or redirecting victims to attacker-controlled infrastructure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Jun 18, 2026

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Orbit Fox WordPress plugin (ThemeIsle) allows authenticated administrators to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages served to any visiting user. Affected are all versions through 3.0.6, but only under specific deployment conditions: WordPress multisite networks or installations where the unfiltered_html capability has been explicitly disabled. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. The CVSS score of 4.4 reflects the elevated prerequisites and limited per-incident impact, though scope-changed XSS can still enable session theft and secondary phishing in affected deployments.

RemediationAI

A code changeset has been committed to the plugin repository (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?sfp_email=&sfph_mail=&reponame=&old=3574306%40themeisle-companion&new=3574306%40themeisle-companion), indicating an upstream fix is available, though a specific released patched version number is not independently confirmed from the available data - administrators should update Orbit Fox to the latest available version from the WordPress plugin repository and verify the installed version exceeds 3.0.6. As an immediate compensating control for deployments that cannot patch promptly, restricting administrator account access to trusted users only reduces the attacker pool directly. On WordPress multisite networks, ensuring only trusted network super admins can manage plugin settings further limits exposure. Disabling or restricting the menu-icons module functionality within the plugin settings, if not in active use, eliminates the specific vulnerable code path identified in init.php. The Wordfence advisory (https://www.wordfence.com/threat-intel/vulnerabilities/id/beb1268c-b680-4ebe-8fe2-65f656390038) should be monitored for confirmation of the exact patched release version.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Orbit Fox (cpe:2.3:a:themeisle:orbit_fox) is a multipurpose WordPress companion plugin by ThemeIsle providing features including menu icons, SVG support, cookie notices, and custom fonts. The vulnerability resides in the menu-icons module (obfx_modules/menu-icons/init.php, specifically at lines 118 and 296 as confirmed by the Wordfence Trac references for both 3.0.5 and 3.0.6). The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), meaning admin-supplied input saved to plugin settings is stored in the database and later rendered in page output without adequate sanitization or escaping. In a standard single-site WordPress install with unfiltered_html enabled, administrators can already inject raw HTML by design - the vulnerability specifically matters when WordPress is configured to restrict this (multisite networks enforce per-role HTML filtering; unfiltered_html can also be programmatically disabled), as the plugin bypasses those restrictions.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Orbit Fox: Duplicate Page, Menu Icons, SVG Support, Cookie Notice, Custom Fonts & More plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via admin settings in all versions up to, and including, 3.0.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multi-site installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
