AI-suggested
Users of the Formula theme should monitor the vendor's advisories for updates. Until a fix is released, consider disabling or restricting access to the vulnerable AJAX action if possible, or applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block malicious input targeting the 'id' parameter. Avoid clicking on suspicious links that could trigger the vulnerability.
Description
The Formula theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘id’ parameter in the 'quality_customizer_notify_dismiss_action' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 0.5.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for 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.
