DESCRIPTION:
Ryuzaki Lawlet has reported two vulnerabilities in the Yahoo Answer
WordPress Auto Poster plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by
malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "catname" parameter to
process-imported-question.php and the "query" parameter to
editautopilot.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to
the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Ryuzaki Lawlet.
