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 unauthenticated remote attacker to deliver a crafted URL containing a malicious script payload to a victim, who must then click/visit that link (UI:R) using a browser with an active session on a site running the Bracketweb Voldor theme version 1.0.0 or earlier. The payload is reflected (not stored), so it is not persistent and executes only for users who follow the attacker-controlled link; the primary limiting factors are the mandatory user interaction and the requirement that the target site actually deploys this specific vulnerable theme. Impact is confined to the victim's browser context (session/cookie theft, actions as the victim) rather than direct server-side compromise. |
| Impact | This is a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the Bracketweb 'Voldor' WordPress theme (versions up to and including 1.0.0), carrying a Patchstack-assigned CVSS 3.1 score of 7.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L). The network vector, low complexity, and no-privileges-required metrics make the raw score look serious, but the mandatory user interaction (UI:R) is the dominant limiting factor: reflected XSS is not self-propagating and requires an attacker to lure a victim into clicking a crafted link, so this is an opportunistic/social-engineering issue rather than a mass-exploitable server flaw. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public proof-of-concept was provided in the input, so there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and no evidence of active exploitation. The S:C (scope change) and C/I/A:L impacts reflect the browser-context nature of XSS rather than direct server compromise - I would independently rate availability impact as None (see assessed vector), as reflected XSS rarely affects availability, so the A:L in the supplied vector likely slightly inflates the score. Overall this is a real but moderate, interaction-dependent issue best prioritized by sites actually running this specific theme. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker crafts a malicious URL targeting the vulnerable Voldor theme parameter and embeds JavaScript that reflects unsanitized into the generated page. The attacker emails or posts the link to a logged-in administrator or visitor; when the victim clicks it, the script executes in their browser session, potentially stealing session cookies or performing actions as that user. No public proof-of-concept was identified in the provided data, and successful exploitation depends entirely on the victim interacting with the attacker-supplied link (UI:R). |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 09, 2026
Reflected cross-site scripting in the Bracketweb 'Voldor' WordPress theme (versions up to and including 1.0.0) lets an unauthenticated remote attacker inject a malicious script into a crafted URL that executes in the browser of any victim who clicks the link while the theme is active. Exploitation requires the victim to follow the attacker-supplied URL (UI:R) and the target site to actually run this specific theme; the payload is reflected rather than stored, so it is non-persistent and limited to the victim's browser context (session or cookie theft, actions performed as the victim). Patchstack assigned CVSS 3.1 7.1 for this flaw; no public exploit code and no confirmed active exploitation were identified at the time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch is identified in the available data, so the primary action is to remove or deactivate the Bracketweb Voldor theme until an update is published, and to check the vendor and the Patchstack advisory (https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/theme/voldor/vulnerability/wordpress-voldor-theme-1-0-0-reflected-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve) for a fixed release covering version 1.0.0. If the theme must remain live, apply a WAF or reverse-proxy rule that strips or blocks script-bearing payloads in reflected query-string and request parameters (trade-off: generic XSS signatures can cause false positives on legitimate content and add latency), and if practical patch the theme templates to escape all echoed input with WordPress helpers such as esc_html(), esc_attr(), esc_url(), and wp_kses() before output (trade-off: requires developer maintenance of a forked theme across future updates). Additional hardening that reduces blast radius rather than removing the bug: set session cookies with HttpOnly and Secure, apply a Content-Security-Policy restricting script-src to trusted origins (trade-off: strict CSP frequently breaks theme JavaScript and third-party widgets), and restrict non-authenticated users from sensitive admin actions. Because exploitation depends on a victim following an attacker-supplied link, user awareness and link-scanning in email gateways also lowers exposure but is not a substitute for removing the vulnerable theme.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The issue is CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation), the classic reflected XSS class, in a PHP-based WordPress theme. Voldor fails to sanitize and escape attacker-controlled input that is echoed back into an HTML response generated by the theme's templates, so a request parameter reflected directly into the page is parsed by the browser as markup/script rather than inert text. The CVSS vector confirms network reachability, low attack complexity, and no privileges required (PR:N), while the mandatory user interaction (UI:R) and changed scope (S:C) reflect that the injected code runs in the victim's browser session on the vulnerable site, not on the server. Because it is a theme, the vulnerable code lives in the WordPress front-end rendering path, meaning every page or parameter the theme handles unsafely is a potential delivery vector, and any visitor browsing with an authenticated session is a viable target. The independent assessment scored availability impact as none (A:N), confining damage to the confidentiality and integrity of the victim's browser context; Patchstack's 7.1 score includes a low availability component (A:L).

DescriptionCVE.org
Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting') vulnerability in Bracketweb Voldor voldor allows Reflected XSS.This issue affects Voldor: from n/a through 1.0.0.
Executive ViewAI
A reflected cross-site scripting flaw in the Bracketweb 'Voldor' WordPress theme (versions up to and including 1.0.0) allows an attacker to craft a link that, when clicked by a visitor, runs malicious script in that visitor's browser on any site running the affected theme. Because the vulnerable component is a public-facing website element, the exposure extends to customers, partners, and staff who browse the site, with potential for session or cookie theft and actions taken under a victim's identity. No vendor patch is currently available, so the risk persists until the theme is removed, replaced, or mitigated, and leadership should treat any externally facing sites using this theme as an open item.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: deactivate or replace the 'Voldor' theme where feasible; deploy WAF rules that detect and block reflected script payloads in request parameters; enforce a restrictive Content-Security-Policy header to reduce inline script execution; sanitize and output-encode reflected input in theme templates; and warn site users about suspicious links until the theme is remediated or removed.
