Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Trending WordPress Theme
The Trending theme for WordPress is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update to the latest version of the Trending theme (version 0.2 or later). Additionally, website administrators can implement input sanitization and validation techniques to prevent XSS attacks.
