Contributor-level stored XSS via unescaped author display name
Published Jun 8, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026
Stored cross-site scripting in Theme Freesia Idyllic 1.1.8 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts via an author display name. The theme renders the stored author display name without sufficient sanitization or output escaping, allowing injected script to enter generated pages. Contributor access is required to plant the payload, and a visitor must open an affected page for the script to run in that visitor's browser.
