CVE-2025-52755Network attack vector

Reflected XSS via undisclosed input reflection

Published Oct 22, 2025 · Updated Oct 22, 2025

Reflected XSS in Chris Taylor Child Themes 1.0.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute scripts via crafted web requests. Patchstack has not disclosed the vulnerable endpoint, input parameter, or output operation that reflects untrusted input into a generated page. Exploitation requires no authentication but does require a privileged user to follow a crafted link or otherwise submit the attacker's request, allowing script execution in that user's browser context.
