Technical details
This vulnerability is a stored cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in the location custom field of YOOtheme Pro versions 1.0.0 through 5.0.41. The root cause is a lack of proper output escaping when rendering the location field. An authenticated attacker with privileged access (such as a site editor or administrator) can inject malicious JavaScript into the field; the script is stored in the database and executed in the browsers of other users who view the affected page or content. Exploitation requires authentication and elevated privileges. The vulnerability allows for session hijacking, credential harvesting, administrative action execution, or site defacement.
