Impact

The vulnerability is a reflected XSS flaw present in WordPress EduMall theme releases up to and including version 4.5.3. It permits an unauthenticated attacker to embed arbitrary JavaScript into pages that are subsequently sent to a visitor, enabling malicious code execution in the victim’s browser during interaction with the affected site.

Affected Systems
