MITRE ATT&CK
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 an attacker to lure a victim into loading a crafted URL against a site running the ThemeGrill eStore theme (versions up to 1.6.13), because the flaw is reflected XSS - the malicious input must be echoed back in a single response rather than stored. The CVSS vector shows PR:N (no attacker authentication needed) but UI:R, meaning the primary limiting factor is mandatory victim interaction: the target must click or open the attacker's link, and the stolen context is only as privileged as that victim's session. There is no self-propagation and no persistence; impact is bounded to users who follow the malicious link while the vulnerable theme version is active. |
| Impact | This is a reflected cross-site scripting (CWE-79) flaw in the ThemeGrill eStore WordPress theme (versions up to and including 1.6.13), reported by Patchstack. The supplied CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L, score 7.1) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity issue requiring no attacker privileges but DOES require victim user interaction (UI:R) - consistent with reflected XSS, where a victim must click or load an attacker-crafted link. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public POC was provided in the input, so there is no signal of active or probable exploitation: this is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The 7.1 'High' rating is driven largely by the Scope-change (S:C) and triple low impacts that Patchstack applies by convention to XSS; in practice reflected XSS is meaningfully gated by the user-interaction requirement and does not self-propagate, making real-world risk lower than the raw score suggests. Note a conflict to verify: the vector asserts A:L (availability impact), which is unusual for a reflected XSS that merely executes script in a victim's browser - treat the availability impact as questionable. Overall this is a legitimate but not emergency-priority web vulnerability; patch in normal cycles unless the theme is internet-facing on a high-value WordPress site. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a URL for the eStore theme containing a malicious script payload in a reflected parameter and delivers it to a logged-in site user or administrator via phishing, a comment, or a social post. When the victim opens the link, the unsanitized input is reflected into the generated page and the script executes in their browser session, allowing cookie/session theft or actions in the victim's context. No public POC was provided, and successful exploitation depends on the victim clicking the attacker-supplied link (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 18, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in the ThemeGrill eStore WordPress theme through version 1.6.13 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary script in a victim's browser when the victim opens a crafted URL, with no attacker authentication required but mandatory user interaction. The flaw is CWE-79 and is limited to the victim's session context; no public exploit was identified at time of analysis. The assessed vector is CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N, reflecting low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact.
RemediationAI
The provided data does not identify an exact fixed version; consult the Patchstack advisory at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/estore/vulnerability/wordpress-estore-theme-1-6-13-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve for vendor patch guidance and upgrade beyond 1.6.13 as directed. If a patched release is not yet available, disable the eStore theme and switch to a maintained default theme (this may change site appearance and break theme-specific templates), deploy WAF rules to block reflected XSS payloads targeting theme parameters (potential false positives), and enforce a Content-Security-Policy that disallows inline script (requires testing and may break legitimate scripts).

Technical ContextAI · show details
The eStore theme is a WordPress front-end theme that generates web pages from request data. CWE-79 occurs when user-controllable input is included in generated HTML without proper output encoding, allowing crafted input to be interpreted as script by the browser. Because the issue is reflected XSS rather than stored XSS, the malicious payload is echoed back in a single response to a crafted URL and is not persisted on the server. The assessed CVSS vector shows network reachability, no attacker authentication (PR:N), required victim interaction (UI:R), and scope change (S:C), with low confidentiality and integrity impact and no availability impact. The Patchstack reference identifies the WordPress theme estore and the affected 1.6.13 release.

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in ThemeGrill eStore estore allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects eStore: from n/a through 1.6.13.
Executive ViewAI
ThemeGrill eStore WordPress theme versions through 1.6.13 expose organizations running affected sites to reflected cross-site scripting that can execute attacker-supplied script in a victim's browser when a crafted URL is opened. The practical business risk is session compromise, credential phishing, or content manipulation for site visitors and administrators rather than a direct server breach, and exploitation requires user interaction. Leadership should prioritize inventory and mitigation because no vendor-released patch is currently available, leaving affected WordPress sites exposed until the theme is updated or replaced.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; interim mitigations include temporarily disabling or removing the ThemeGrill eStore theme on affected sites, deploying WAF or virtual patching rules to detect and block reflected XSS in crafted URLs, enforcing Content Security Policy, validating and encoding URL parameters, monitoring web and application logs for suspicious script-injection attempts, and migrating to a maintained theme.
