Vulnerabilidad de Coss-Site Scripting (XSS) autenticada reflejada en el complemento 5 Anker Connect de WordPress en versiones <= 1.2.6.

The 5 Anker Connect plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.2.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on the 'tab' parameter.
