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

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: The Beauty theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.1.4

Description: The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the tpl featured cat id parameter due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows authenticated attackers, with Subscriber-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations: For versions up to, and including, 1.1.4, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tpl featured cat id parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
