I just saw this and felt I should share it. I'm sure most people here wouldn't fall for it but it can't hurt to make sure 👍

Yeah, some wordpress themes have vulnerable bits that allow attackers to inject cross site scripting attacks into the page via various methods. Some have pivoted to using wordpress plugins which is a newer method I don't entirely understand yet.
