Descriptions

The WP Video Lightbox WordPress plugin before 1.9.5 does not escape the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] parameter before outputting it back in an attribute, which could lead to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in old web browsers

El plugin WP Video Lightbox de WordPress versiones anteriores a 1.9.5, no escapa del parámetro $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] antes de devolverlo en un atributo, lo que podría conllevar a un ataque de tipo Cross-Site Scripting Reflejado en navegadores antiguos

The WP Video Lightbox plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.9.4 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for administrative attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute when someone visits an injected page.
