CVE-2023-6781: XSS
First published: Thu Jan 11 2024(Updated: )
The Orbit Fox by ThemeIsle plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's custom fields in all versions up to, and including, 2.10.26 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied values. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
