Remote attackers require no privileges and can exploit this over the network with low attack complexity, though user interaction is necessary. Successful exploitation changes scope, granting low-level impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as executing scripts in the victim's browser context to potentially steal session data or perform other client-side actions.

Affected Assets

Mitigating Controls

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

SI-10 Information Input Validation good match
prevent

Directly requires validation and neutralization of untrusted input before it is used in web page generation, blocking the root cause of this DOM-based XSS flaw.

SI-15 Information Output Filtering good match
prevent

Mandates filtering or encoding of information output to browsers, preventing untrusted data from executing as script in the victim's DOM context.

SC-18 Mobile Code partial match
prevent

Restricts or authorizes mobile code (scripts) that can be injected and executed via the vulnerable theme, limiting successful XSS payload delivery.
