WordPress Archin Theme Cross Site Scripting and Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerabilities

WordPress Archin Theme is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Attackers can exploit these issues to steal cookie-based authentication information, execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the browser, upload and execute arbitrary files in the context of the web server, and launch other attacks.

WordPress Archin Theme 3.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
