Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme <= 2.15.7 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'aux_timeline' Shortcode

Published Apr 16, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026 · Assigned by Wordfence

Description

The Shortcodes and extra features for Phlox theme plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's aux_timeline shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes such as thumb_mode and date_type. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
