Technical details

A Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the CridioStudio ListingPro theme for WordPress through version 2.9.11. The flaw is caused by improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). An attacker with Subscriber-level privileges can inject malicious JavaScript into the application. The exploit requires a victim (such as an administrator) to interact with the affected page or perform a specific action for the script to execute. Successful exploitation allows for session hijacking, unauthorized administrative actions, or defacement. The issue is resolved in version 2.9.12.
