CVE-2023-6745 describes a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Custom Field Template plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 2.6.1. This flaw stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied post meta within the plugin's 'cpt' shortcode. An authenticated attacker with contributor-level permissions or higher can inject malicious web scripts into pages, which then execute in a user's browser when the compromised page is viewed. The vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 5.4 (MEDIUM), indicating a network-based attack with low complexity, requiring user interaction, and resulting in low impact to confidentiality and integrity. While the EPSS score is low, suggesting a low probability of exploitation, the FAUCET Risk Score is 22/100. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available on platforms like Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Furthermore, there is no community discussion or media coverage surrounding this CVE, suggesting a low level of public awareness or attention.
