Last modified
CVE-2024-5638 is a medium-severity vulnerability rated 6.1/10 on the CVSS scale. The Formula theme for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘id’ parameter in the 'ti_customizer_notify_dismiss_recommended_plugins' AJAX action in all versions up to, and including, 0.5.1 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
