Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page (Basic XSS) vulnerability in kutethemes Uminex uminex allows Code Injection.This issue affects Uminex: from n/a through <= 1.0.9.
AnalysisAI
Improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags in the kutethemes Uminex WordPress theme version 1.0.9 and earlier enables unauthenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary code via cross-site scripting (XSS), resulting in limited information disclosure. The vulnerability has an EPSS score of 0.03% (8th percentile), indicating minimal real-world exploitation probability despite a CVSS base score of 5.3; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability stems from CWE-80 (Improper Neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tags in a Web Page), a foundational XSS weakness where user-controlled input is reflected in HTML context without proper sanitization or output encoding. The affected product is the Uminex WordPress theme (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:kutethemes:uminex:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), a server-side WordPress theme component. The basic XSS variant allows attackers to inject malicious script tags or event handlers that execute in the context of a user's browser session, though the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L) indicates no user interaction is required for exploitation and impact is limited to confidentiality (information disclosure), with no integrity or availability impact.
RemediationAI
Upgrade the kutethemes Uminex theme to a version newer than 1.0.9. Consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Theme/uminex/vulnerability/wordpress-uminex-theme-1-0-9-arbitrary-shortcode-execution-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for the specific patched release version and installation instructions. If an upgrade is not immediately available, apply input validation and output encoding filters to any user-controllable fields rendered in HTML context, and implement a Web Application Firewall rule to block script injection patterns.
