CVE-2026-6646The7 <= 14.3.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode 'link' Parameter
Medium 6.4
In plain English
A medium-severity cross-site scripting in The7 — Website and eCommerce Builder for WordPress from Dream-Theme. There are no confirmed reports of exploitation so far. The chance it is exploited in the next 30 days is estimated at 0.3% (higher than 21% of all known vulnerabilities).
Official description
The The7 theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'dt_default_button' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 14.3.2. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'title' component of the 'link' shortcode parameter. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
