Status: ModifiedMedium (5.4)—

The Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the HTML Element in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.

Requires Elementor and the Phlox theme to be installed.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
