CVE-2025-6743
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Woodmart theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'multiple_markers' attribute in all versions up to, and including, 8.2.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. 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.
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 · high confidenceThe Woodmart WordPress theme lacks proper input sanitization and output escaping on the 'multiple_markers' attribute, allowing authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to inject malicious JavaScript that persists on affected pages and executes when other users view those pages.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify Woodmart theme installationCheck your WordPress installation for the Xtemos Woodmart theme. In WordPress admin, go to Appearance > Themes. Alternatively, inspect the theme directory (wp-content/themes/woodmart) for the style.css file which contains the theme version header.Affected if The Woodmart theme is installed and active.
-
Determine installed theme versionOpen the theme's style.css file (wp-content/themes/woodmart/style.css) and locate the 'Version:' header in the theme comments, or check via WordPress admin theme details panel.Affected if The version number is lower than 8.2.4 (e.g., 8.2.3, 8.2.0, 7.x.x, etc.).
-
Identify use of map/marker featuresReview pages, posts, and custom post types (such as woodmart slider or woodmart portfolio) for elements using the 'multiple markers' or 'map' functionality. These are typically added via the WPBakery page builder or Elementor when Woodmart is installed.Affected if Content contains map elements with the multiple_markers attribute configured.
-
Inspect content for injected scriptsExamine the HTML source of pages using map/marker elements. Look for unexpected <script> tags, event handlers (onload, onerror, onmouseover), or javascript: URLs within the multiple_markers attribute values. Use browser developer tools or search the database for patterns like 'script' or 'javascript:' within map-related content.Affected if Malicious script tags or event handlers are present in the HTML output of map elements.
-
Audit user accounts with contributor accessIn WordPress admin, go to Users > All Users and review the list for accounts with Contributor, Author, Editor, or Administrator roles. These users have sufficient permissions to create or edit content containing the vulnerable attribute.Affected if There are user accounts with Contributor-level access or higher who have permission to edit content.
Your environment is affected if the Woodmart theme version is below 8.2.4 AND you have content using map elements with the multiple_markers attribute AND you have users with contributor-level permissions who can edit that content.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scoped8.2.4
Update Woodmart theme to version 8.2.4 or later, which contains proper sanitization and escaping for the multiple_markers attribute. Until updated, restrict contributor-level user permissions and audit existing content for suspicious script injections.
Woodmart theme version 8.2.4
