AI-suggested

Since the vulnerability affects versions before 22.2, upgrading to version 22.2 or later (once available) is recommended if the vendor releases a fix. Until then, consider applying custom input sanitization or disabling the vulnerable AJAX handler if feasible.

Description

The EventPress WordPress theme before 22.2 does not sanitize or escape the 'id' parameter in the eventpress_customizer_notify_dismiss_action AJAX handler before outputting it back in the response, allowing unauthenticated attackers to perform Reflected Cross-Site Scripting attacks against logged-in users.
