## Overview

The Graphene theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via 'Current location' and 'Author profile image URL' Profile Fields in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for 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.

## Remediation

Refer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.
