Descriptions

The syndication-links plugin before 1.0.3 for WordPress has XSS via the genericons/example.html anchor identifier.

El plugin syndication-links versiones anteriores a 1.0.3 para WordPress, presenta una vulnerabilidad de tipo XSS por medio del identificador de anclaje del archivo genericons/example.html.

The Syndication Links plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to DOM-based Cross-Site Scripting via the genericons/example.html anchor identifier in versions up to 1.0.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
