CVE-2025-14040
Received Received - Intake
Stored XSS in Automotive Car Dealership WordPress Theme Custom Fields

Publication date: 2026-02-27

Last updated on: 2026-02-27

Assigner: Wordfence

Description
The Automotive Car Dealership Business WordPress Theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the 'Call to Action' custom fields in all versions up to, and including, 13.4. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes in the 'action_text', 'action_button_text', 'action_link', and 'action_class' custom fields. 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.

Executive Summary

The Automotive Car Dealership Business WordPress Theme is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in its 'Call to Action' custom fields. This vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 13.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes such as 'action_text', 'action_button_text', 'action_link', and 'action_class'.

An authenticated attacker with contributor-level permissions or higher can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages. These scripts will execute whenever any user accesses the injected page.

Impact Analysis

This vulnerability allows attackers with contributor-level access to inject malicious scripts into the website's pages. When other users visit these pages, the malicious scripts execute in their browsers.

  • It can lead to theft of user credentials or session tokens.
  • It can enable unauthorized actions on behalf of users.
  • It can damage the website's reputation and user trust.

Mitigation Strategies

To mitigate this vulnerability, you should update the Automotive Car Dealership Business WordPress Theme to a version later than 13.4 where the issue is fixed.

Additionally, restrict contributor-level permissions and above to trusted users only, as the vulnerability requires authenticated users with such permissions to exploit.

Consider implementing additional input sanitization and output escaping on the affected custom fields ('action_text', 'action_button_text', 'action_link', and 'action_class') if you cannot immediately update the theme.
