AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions The Basil recipe theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.0.4

Description The issue is related to Persistent Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) via the post title parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses a compromised page. The default WordPress validation prevents direct payload insertion, but if the Cooked plugin is installed, attackers can create a recipe post type and inject the payload in the title field.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.0.4, update to version 2.0.5 to resolve the issue.
