CWE-601: URL Redirection to Untrusted Site ('Open Redirect')
Reaching this weakness in ProStore - Modern Magazine WordPress Theme < 1.1.3 takes a caller who can reach the endpoint. An open redirect is a page that takes a destination from the request and sends the browser there without checking that the destination belongs to the site.
A link that starts on a trusted domain finishes on an attacker's, which is what makes phishing and consent-screen abuse credible to the person clicking it. For ProStore - Modern Magazine WordPress Theme the fix is 1.1.3: builds < 1.1.3 are affected, anything from 1.1.3 onward is not.
Remediation
Update to version 1.1.3, or a newer patched version
