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 authenticated WordPress user account with at minimum Contributor role (PR:L), which grants access to create or edit Elementor-powered pages containing Graphina widgets. The 'iq_tree_tree_chart_template' widget setting must be present and editable on the site - this requires both the Elementor page builder and the Graphina plugin to be active. No special server-side configuration is needed beyond the plugin being installed and a contributor account being available. Exploitation is limited by: (1) the PR:L requirement - guest/subscriber roles cannot edit widget settings; (2) Elementor must be installed alongside Graphina; (3) a victim must visit the injected page for the XSS payload to execute. Sites with open contributor registration or high author turnover face elevated risk.

Impact

The CVSS 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) accurately captures the key dynamics: low complexity, contributor-level authentication required (PR:L), scope change to victim browsers, and bounded C:L/I:L impact. The PR:L requirement is the primary mitigating factor - exploitation requires at minimum a WordPress contributor account, which limits opportunistic mass exploitation. However, on sites that allow open contributor registration or have many content authors, this barrier is low. No KEV listing or EPSS score is provided, so real-world exploitation frequency is unknown. The changeset fix (revision 3553477 in the WordPress plugin SVN) is publicly visible, which means attackers can diff the patch and reverse-engineer the exact payload, potentially lowering exploitation complexity for anyone with contributor access. The stored nature of the XSS means a single injection persistently affects all page visitors until the payload is removed, amplifying impact beyond a reflected variant.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a contributor account on a target WordPress site edits or creates an Elementor page, inserts a Graphina tree chart widget, and sets the 'iq_tree_tree_chart_template' parameter to a crafted JavaScript payload. Once the page is published, every authenticated or unauthenticated visitor who loads that page executes the payload in their browser, enabling the attacker to steal session cookies, perform actions on behalf of administrators, or redirect users to malicious sites. The patch-visible fix at SVN changeset 3553477 could allow an attacker to construct a precise payload targeting the unsanitized parameter without additional reconnaissance.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 09, 2026

Stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Graphina - Charts and Graphs For Elementor WordPress plugin (all versions through 3.1.11) allows authenticated contributors to inject persistent malicious scripts via the 'iq_tree_tree_chart_template' widget setting. Because the scope changes (S:C), injected payloads execute in the browser context of any visitor who loads the affected page, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or drive-by malware delivery. The vulnerability stems from insufficient sanitization of widget input and missing output escaping in the TreeChart rendering path, with specific vulnerable code identified by Wordfence at TreeChart.js:146, tree-chart.php:19, GraphinaFunction.php:1653, and GraphinaElementorControls.php:1446. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is confirmed at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Update the Graphina - Charts and Graphs For Elementor plugin to a version released after 3.1.11 once a patched release is published to the WordPress plugin repository. A code fix has been committed at SVN changeset 3553477 (https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/changeset?reponame=&old=3553477%40graphina-elementor-charts-and-graphs&new=3553477%40graphina-elementor-charts-and-graphs); confirm the corresponding tagged release is available via the WordPress dashboard updater before upgrading. As a compensating control pending the update, restrict contributor-level account creation and audit existing contributor accounts for unauthorized page edits. Administrators can also temporarily disable the Graphina tree chart widget via Elementor's widget manager if the feature is not actively used, though this may impact page layouts. Enabling a Web Application Firewall rule for stored XSS payloads (e.g., via Wordfence or Cloudflare) can reduce exploitation risk but is not a substitute for patching.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Graphina is an Elementor page-builder plugin for WordPress developed by Iqonic Design (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:iqonicdesign:graphina_-_charts_and_graphs_for_elementor). The vulnerability falls under CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation / Stored XSS). The affected widget setting 'iq_tree_tree_chart_template' passes user-supplied data through GraphinaElementorControls.php (line 1446) and GraphinaFunction.php (line 1653) without adequate sanitization. The rendered output is then incorporated into the tree-chart.php template (line 19) and processed by the client-side TreeChart.js (line 146), where the unsanitized string is written into the DOM without escaping, completing the stored XSS sink. Elementor's widget control architecture means any contributor with page-editing rights can set these widget parameters.

DescriptionCVE.org

The Graphina - Charts and Graphs For Elementor plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'iq_tree_tree_chart_template' Widget Setting in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. 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.
