CVE-2026-57397 · Severity: high · CVSS 7.1 · Published 2026-07-23

The Coaching theme for WordPress is vulnerable to a security flaw that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into the website. This occurs because the theme does not properly sanitize user-provided data, potentially allowing an attacker to redirect visitors to malicious sites or steal sensitive session information. To exploit this, an attacker typically needs to trick a site visitor or administrator into clicking a specially crafted link.

## Technical details

A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the ThimPress Coaching theme for WordPress (versions 3.9.2 and below) due to improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). The vulnerability is unauthenticated, meaning an attacker does not need an account on the target site, though successful exploitation requires user interaction (such as a victim clicking a malicious link). If exploited, an attacker can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session, which can lead to session hijacking, unauthorized actions on behalf of the user, or website defacement. The issue is resolved in version 3.9.3.
