Descriptions
The Post Status Notifier Lite WordPress plugin before 1.10.1 does not sanitise and escape a parameter before outputting it back in the page, leading to a Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which can be used against high privilege users such as admin.
The Post Status Notifier Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the $controller parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.10.0 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.
