Published: Fri May 29 2026 (05/29/2026, 05:32:37 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: themesuite
Product: Automotive Car Dealership Business WordPress Theme

Description

The Automotive Car Dealership Business WordPress Theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Project Details' custom field in Portfolio Items in all versions up to, and including, 13.4.1. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the 'project_details' custom field. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Technical Analysis

The Automotive Car Dealership Business WordPress Theme suffers from a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CWE-79) in the 'project_details' custom field of Portfolio Items. This flaw allows authenticated users with contributor-level or higher permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts due to improper input neutralization and output escaping. When other users access the injected pages, the malicious scripts execute, potentially leading to session hijacking or other client-side attacks. The vulnerability affects all versions up to 13.4.1. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.4 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N), reflecting network attack vector, low attack complexity, and partial confidentiality and integrity impact. No vendor patch or official remediation is currently documented.

Potential Impact

An attacker with contributor-level or higher privileges can inject persistent malicious scripts into Portfolio Item pages via the 'project_details' custom field. These scripts execute in the context of users viewing the affected pages, potentially compromising user sessions and data confidentiality and integrity. The vulnerability does not impact availability. There are no known active exploits reported. The medium severity reflects the need for authenticated access to exploit and the partial impact on confidentiality and integrity.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict contributor-level permissions to trusted users only and consider disabling or limiting use of the 'project_details' custom field in Portfolio Items. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) that can detect and block XSS payloads as a temporary mitigation. Monitor for updates from the theme vendor regarding patches or official fixes.
