Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ashe theme for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.243

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add query arg without appropriate escaping on the URL. This allows unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 2.243, update to a version that fixes the issue with add query arg escaping. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to pages that use add query arg to minimize the risk of exploitation.
