Summary

The Soledad theme for WordPress by pencidesign is affected in all versions up to and including 8.7.7. Insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of social profile fields let authenticated attackers with subscriber-level access and above store arbitrary web scripts. The injected scripts run when a user visits the attacker's author archive page at /author/<slug>/, which is publicly accessible even without published posts. This is a cross-site scripting flaw (CWE-79).

Description from the CNA

The Soledad theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Social Profile Fields in all versions up to, and including, 8.7.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. The injected payload is scoped to the attacker's own user meta but is exposed publicly on their author archive page at /author/<slug>/, which is accessible to unauthenticated visitors regardless of whether the attacker has published any posts.
