Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires an authenticated WordPress account with at least low-level posting privileges (PR:L) to store the malicious payload, and it requires a victim - typically an administrator or another user - to subsequently load the page containing the injected script (UI:R). This limits the attack to multi-user installations where lower-trust accounts exist; single-admin sites that do not grant untrusted users posting access have little exposure. The specific vulnerable input field or feature is not detailed in the available description beyond the product's theme-support functionality, and no non-default configuration is identified as a prerequisite.

Impact

This is a stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) flaw in the Weaver Xtreme Theme Support WordPress plugin (versions up to and including 7.0.1), reported by Patchstack with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.5 (Medium). The provided vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack that requires authenticated low-privilege access (PR:L) and victim interaction (UI:R), with a scope change (S:C) reflecting that injected script executes in another security context such as an admin's browser session. No EPSS score, CISA KEV listing, or public proof-of-concept was supplied in the intelligence, so there is no signal of active or imminent widespread exploitation. The signals are internally consistent: a Medium-severity stored XSS gated behind authentication and user interaction is a genuine but not emergency-priority issue - it is not a high-CVSS-but-illusory risk, nor is it a mass-exploitation candidate absent KEV/EPSS data. Realistic risk is moderate and primarily matters for multi-user WordPress sites where lower-privileged accounts (e.g., contributors/authors) exist and can target administrators.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with a low-privileged authenticated WordPress account (e.g., contributor or author) submits input through a plugin field that is not properly sanitized, storing a malicious script. When an administrator or other user later views the affected page in the dashboard or front end, the script executes in their browser, potentially hijacking their session or performing actions on their behalf. No public proof-of-concept exploit was identified in the provided data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 13, 2026

Stored cross-site scripting in the Weaver Xtreme Theme Support WordPress plugin (all versions through 7.0.1) allows an authenticated user with only low-level posting privileges to persist malicious JavaScript that then executes in the browser of any user who loads the affected page, including administrators. Rated CVSS 3.1 6.5 (Medium) with a scope-change vector (S:C) and requiring victim interaction (UI:R), the flaw is a CWE-79 improper-neutralization issue reported by Patchstack. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and no fixed version is confirmed in the available data, so exposure is greatest on multi-author installations that grant untrusted accounts content-creation rights. Note that per the CVSS vector (PR:L) this is not exploitable by unauthenticated remote attackers.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch version is identified in the available data; the Patchstack entry at https://patchstack.com/database/wordpress/plugin/weaverx-theme-support/vulnerability/wordpress-weaver-xtreme-theme-support-plugin-7-0-1-cross-site-scripting-xss-vulnerability?_s_id=cve should be checked for an updated fixed release, and if the plugin publishes a version after 7.0.1 it should be applied immediately and the affected plugin should be updated through the normal WordPress plugin updater. Until a fix is confirmed, the highest-value compensating control is privilege reduction: because exploitation requires an authenticated account with posting privileges (PR:L), audit WordPress roles and remove or downgrade Author/Contributor/Subscriber capabilities on untrusted accounts, or restrict content creation to a small set of trusted administrators - the trade-off is reduced editorial flexibility on multi-author sites. Where the plugin's theme-support functionality is not actively required, deactivating and removing it eliminates the attack surface entirely, at the cost of losing the theme support features. Additionally, deploy a web application firewall (including WordPress-aware WAFs) with stored-XSS signatures on requests to plugin endpoints, and enforce a Content Security Policy that blocks inline script execution as a defense-in-depth layer; note that CSP tuning can break legitimate site scripts, so report-only mode should be used first to measure impact. Finally, since this is a persistent (stored) XSS, incident handlers should scan the WordPress database for previously injected script payloads in plugin-stored fields after any suspected exploitation, because upgrading the plugin stops new injections but does not remove payloads already persisted.

Technical ContextAI · show details

CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) in the WordPress plugin 'weaverx-theme-support', the companion plugin for the Weaver Xtreme theme. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:wpweaver:weaver_xtreme_theme_support:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* confirms the affected component as the WordPress plugin distribution from vendor wpweaver and leaves the version wildcarded, which is consistent with the description's range 'from n/a through 7.0.1'. This is the stored (persistent) subclass of XSS rather than reflected: attacker-supplied input is insufficiently sanitized when written to the WordPress database and insufficiently escaped when later rendered back into an HTML page, so the payload survives across requests and executes for every viewer of the poisoned page. The CVSS:3.1 vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L indicates the attacker needs a low-privilege authenticated WordPress account (PR:L), the crafted payload is delivered over the network, and the victim must load the affected page (UI:R) for the script to run. The scope change (S:C) reflects that the injected script executes in the security context of the victim's browser session on the WordPress site, meaning the impact crosses from the attacker's low-privilege account into the victim's session. Underlying prerequisites are the WordPress plugin ecosystem, database-backed content storage, and template rendering - the classic surface for stored XSS in plugins that handle user-supplied theme-support content without context-aware output encoding.
