Overview

The Glossy Blog WordPress theme contains a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability, identified as CVE-2025-26934. This security issue affects versions up to and including 1.0.3 of the Glossy Blog theme.

Technical details

The vulnerability is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation) and has received a CVSS v3.1 score of 6.5 (Medium). The issue stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the theme's code, which allows authenticated users with subscriber-level access or higher to inject malicious web scripts (WPScan, Patchstack).

Impact

When exploited, this vulnerability allows attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts into pages that will execute whenever a user accesses the injected content. This could lead to various malicious activities including redirects, unauthorized advertisements, and execution of other HTML payloads on the affected website (Patchstack).

Mitigation and workarounds

Currently, there is no official fix available for this vulnerability. Patchstack has issued a virtual patch to mitigate the issue by blocking potential attacks. The recommended course of action is to either implement the virtual patch through Patchstack or remove and replace the theme with a secure alternative (Patchstack).
