Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in RedLine WordPress Theme
The RedLine 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:
Update RedLine theme to version 1.66 or higher to fix the vulnerability. Additionally, input validation and output encoding should be implemented to prevent XSS attacks.
