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 the victim to actively click or load an attacker-crafted URL (CVSS UI:R), so it cannot be triggered zero-click or purely server-side - this social-engineering step is the primary limiting factor. The target site must be running Themify Builder version 7.7.4 or earlier with the vulnerable reflected parameter reachable. No authentication is needed by the attacker (PR:N), and the injected script executes with the privileges of whatever session the victim holds, so impact is greatest if the lured victim is an authenticated administrator. The specific vulnerable parameter or request endpoint is not detailed in the available source data. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no privileges required, but critically requires user interaction (UI:R) - a victim must click or load a crafted link. The scope change (S:C) reflects that injected script runs in the victim's browser context rather than the vulnerable server process, which is standard for reflected XSS and drives the 7.1 score despite only Low impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or public POC was provided, so there is no current signal of active or imminent exploitation - this appears to be a routine Patchstack-catalogued plugin XSS rather than a high-priority emergency. The dependence on social engineering (UI:R) meaningfully limits real-world exploitability compared to a zero-click flaw; realistic priority is moderate and driven mainly by the plugin's install base. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a URL to the target WordPress site embedding a malicious script payload in a Themify Builder parameter, then distributes it via phishing email, forum post, or social media. When a logged-in administrator or visitor clicks the link, the unsanitized input is reflected into the page and the script executes in their browser, allowing session cookie theft, action forgery, or redirection. No public exploit code was identified, and the AV:N/AC:L profile means the request is trivial to construct once the vulnerable parameter is known. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jul 13, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in the Themify Builder WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 7.7.4) lets remote attackers inject arbitrary script that executes in a victim's browser when they follow a crafted link. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.1 reflects unauthenticated exploitation with a scope change, though it requires user interaction. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version was identified in the available data; the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/Wordpress/Plugin/themify-builder/vulnerability/wordpress-themify-builder-plugin-7-7-4-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability) lists the flaw as affecting through 7.7.4, so administrators should monitor for and apply a release later than 7.7.4 once published and confirm via the Themify changelog. As compensating controls until a fix is confirmed, deploy a WordPress-aware WAF or Patchstack's virtual patching to filter reflected XSS payloads on plugin request parameters (trade-off: rule tuning may cause false positives on legitimate builder requests), restrict access to builder/preview endpoints to authenticated editors where feasible, and consider a Content-Security-Policy header disallowing inline script to blunt payload execution (trade-off: strict CSP can break themes or page-builder inline scripts and requires testing). Because this is reflected XSS, user awareness against clicking untrusted links pointing at the site also reduces exposure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
Themify Builder is a drag-and-drop page-builder plugin for WordPress used to construct page layouts and content modules. The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), specifically a reflected variant: user-controllable input is echoed back into an HTTP response (typically a page parameter, search field, or builder request) without proper output encoding or sanitization, so the browser interprets attacker-supplied markup as executable script. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:themifyme:themify_builder:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, covering all releases through 7.7.4. Reflected XSS differs from stored XSS in that the payload is not persisted server-side but delivered per-request, meaning exploitation hinges on luring a victim to a malicious URL.

Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in themifyme Themify Builder themify-builder allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Themify Builder: from n/a through <= 7.7.4.
Executive ViewAI
Themify Builder WordPress plugin versions up to 7.7.4 contain an unauthenticated reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2026-57369, CVSS 7.1) with no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vulnerability enables attackers to inject malicious scripts through crafted links, potentially compromising visitor credentials, enabling malware injection, and exposing customer data on affected websites. No vendor-released patch is available at this time, creating sustained risk for organizations relying on this plugin.
Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block common XSS attack patterns; disable Themify Builder on non-critical systems where alternatives are available; enforce strict input validation and output encoding on all user inputs; implement real-time security scanning and malware detection; maintain continuous monitoring of plugin vendor advisories; use endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools to identify evidence of successful exploitation.
