Summary

The Themify WordPress plugin versions prior to 1.4.4 exhibit a vulnerability due to inadequate sanitization and escaping of certain Filter settings. This security flaw permits users with elevated privileges, particularly admins, to execute Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks. This can occur even in environments where the unfiltered_html capability is restricted, such as in multisite setups, potentially compromising the integrity of the site.

Affected Version(s)

Themify 0 < 1.4.4

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
