As there is no official patch available from the theme developers yet, immediate mitigation steps include applying the temporary mitigation rule issued by Patchstack to block attacks.

Other recommended actions are to update the theme when a patch becomes available or seek assistance from your hosting provider or a web developer to secure your site.

Compliance Impact
