DescriptionCVE.org

The Betheme theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the theme's 'icon_box_2' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 28.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.

AnalysisAI

Stored cross-site scripting in the Betheme theme for WordPress (all versions through 28.4) allows authenticated attackers holding contributor-level access or higher to inject persistent malicious scripts into pages via unsanitized attributes of the 'icon_box_2' shortcode. The injected payload executes in the browser of any user who subsequently loads the affected page, including administrators, enabling session hijacking or privilege escalation. …
