Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

Reflected XSS vulnerability in the SKT Templates WordPress plugin (versions up to 6.14) allows attackers to inject malicious JavaScript through unsanitized user input that gets reflected in web pages without proper encoding.

MitigationImplement proper output encoding and input validation on all user-supplied data before reflecting it in HTML output. Update the plugin to the latest version if a patch is available.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify plugin is installed
    Navigate to WordPress admin dashboard > Plugins > Installed Plugins and look for 'Skt Templates' or 'Sktthemes Skt Templates' in the list
    Affected if Plugin is present and active on the WordPress site
  2. Check installed version
    In the Plugins list, find the Skt Templates plugin and note the version number displayed below the plugin name
    Affected if Version is less than 6.15 (versions 6.14 and below are affected)
  3. Identify reflected input points
    Review plugin source code for pages that use $_GET, $_POST, or $_REQUEST parameters that get output directly to HTML without sanitization functions such as esc_html(), esc_attr(), or esc_url()
    Affected if User-supplied parameters are being echoed or printed to the page without proper encoding
  4. Test for XSS via URL parameters
    Use browser developer tools or a proxy to intercept requests and inject test payloads (such as <script>alert(1)</script>) into URL parameters used by the plugin, then check if the payload is reflected in the response unescaped
    Affected if Injected script tags appear literally in the page source without HTML encoding

The environment is affected if the Skt Templates WordPress plugin is installed with a version below 6.15 AND user input from HTTP request parameters is being reflected in plugin-generated pages without sanitization.
