## Technical details

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Orbit Fox by ThemeIsle plugin for WordPress (versions <= 3.0.7). The flaw stems from improper neutralization of user-supplied input during web page generation (CWE-79). An attacker with 'Author' or higher privileges can inject malicious JavaScript payloads into the site. Successful exploitation requires a victim (such as an administrator) to interact with the affected page or perform a specific action, allowing the script to execute in the context of the victim's session. This can lead to session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions. The issue is resolved in version 3.0.8.
