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 authenticated account with at least Author-level (content-authoring) privileges on a WordPress site running the Supreme Modules Lite (Supreme Modules for Divi) plugin at version 2.5.63 or earlier, alongside the Divi theme/builder that the addon extends. It further requires victim user interaction (UI:R) - a second user, typically an administrator, must load the page or module containing the injected payload for the script to execute. Limiting factors: the need for a pre-existing privileged account, the required victim interaction, and dependence on the specific plugin being installed and active substantially narrow real-world exploitability. Note: the description's 'Author' wording suggests the true privilege bar may be PR:L rather than the vector's stated PR:H. |
| Impact | This is a high-CVSS-appearing but modest real-risk issue. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 5.9 (MEDIUM) is driven largely by the scope-change flag (S:C) and network vector, but the practical bar is high: the provided vector requires PR:H (privileged access) plus UI:R (a victim must be tricked into rendering the payload), and impact is capped at C:L/I:L/A:L. There is NO EPSS score, NO CISA KEV listing, and NO public POC in the provided data - exploitation status is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis.' A notable conflict exists between the description and the vector: Patchstack labels this 'Author' XSS, and in WordPress an Author role typically maps to PR:L (a low-privileged contributor-tier account), yet the supplied vector uses PR:H. If PR:L is more accurate, the realistic score rises (roughly 6.5) but the vulnerability still requires an attacker to already hold a content-authoring account - this is an insider/compromised-account escalation vector, not a mass-exploitable pre-auth flaw. Bottom line: low-to-medium priority; verify the true privilege requirement with the vendor/Patchstack record. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker holding an Author-level (content-authoring) account on the WordPress site injects a malicious JavaScript payload through a Supreme Modules Lite input field that is not properly sanitized. When another user - typically an administrator reviewing content - loads the affected page or module in the browser, the stored/reflected script executes in their session context (S:C), enabling session or limited data theft. No public exploit code is identified in the provided data, and successful exploitation depends on victim interaction (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 30, 2026
Author-level cross-site scripting (XSS) in the Supreme Modules Lite (Supreme Modules for Divi) WordPress plugin affects all versions up to and including 2.5.63, allowing a user holding content-authoring privileges to store a script payload through the plugin's Divi module fields. When a higher-privileged user - typically an administrator - later loads the affected page or module, the injected JavaScript executes in their session context (CVSS 5.9, AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L; our assessment lowers the privilege bar to PR:L based on the 'Author' wording). Real-world risk is modest: exploitation demands a pre-existing account with at least Author-level rights, depends on both the plugin and the underlying Divi theme/builder being installed and active, and requires victim interaction, so no public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. No entry exists in CISA KEV and no EPSS enrichment was supplied.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch with an exact fixed version is identified in the provided data; the advisory lists 2.5.63 as the last affected release, so administrators should consult the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/supreme-modules-for-divi/vulnerability/wordpress-supreme-modules-lite-plugin-2-5-63-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) and the plugin's WordPress.org changelog to confirm and deploy the first patched release, validating the patched version number before treating the site as remediated. Until a fix is confirmed and applied, compensating controls include tightening role assignments so that only fully trusted users hold Author or higher capabilities on sites running this plugin - accepting the trade-off that this restricts legitimate content workflows - and, where content authoring must remain distributed, keeping the Supreme Modules Lite plugin deactivated on any site that does not actively need its Divi modules, which removes the vulnerable rendering path entirely. If neither is feasible, deploying a WordPress-aware WAF rule or content-security policy that blocks inline script execution in module output can interrupt the stored payload, but such filters are prone to bypass and are not a substitute for the upstream fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), manifesting as a stored/authenticated XSS rather than a reflected one. Supreme Modules Lite is an addon that extends the Divi theme's visual builder with additional modules; module settings authored in the builder are persisted in WordPress content and re-rendered on front-end and administrative views without sufficient output encoding. Because the payload is persisted, it survives across requests and fires whenever a viewer opens the affected page - hence the scope-changed (S:C) rating in the vector, since the executing script runs in the origin and session context of the victim rather than the injecting author. The supplied CPE (cpe:2.3:a:supreme_modules:supreme_modules_lite:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) confirms the affected component is the plugin itself across its version line up to 2.5.63. The CVSS vector's PR:H conflicts with the advisory's 'Author' designation; our independent assessment resolves this as PR:L, meaning the practical privilege entry point is the Author role, while the *victim* of execution is the higher-privileged user who must interact with the poisoned content (UI:R).
