Vulnerabilidad de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Reflejada No Autenticada en el complemento UltimatelySocial Social Media Share Buttons &amp; Social Sharing Icons en versiones &lt;= 2.8.3.

The Social Media & Share Icons plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via an unknown parameter in versions up to, and including, 2.8.3 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.
