CVE-2026-6646

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

The The7 theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'dt_default_button' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 14.3.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'title' component of the 'link' shortcode parameter. 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.

Esto se debe a una sanitización de entrada y un escape de salida insuficientes en el componente ’title’ del parámetro del shortcode ’link’. Esto hace posible que atacantes autenticados, con acceso de nivel Colaborador o superior, inyecten scripts web arbitrarios en páginas que se ejecutarán cada vez que un usuario acceda a una página inyectada."
