Vulnerabilidad de Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Reflejada no autenticada en los complementos Arrow en el complemento The Awesome Feed – Custom Feed en versiones <= 2.2.5.

The The Awesome Feed – Custom Feed plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via an unknown parameter in all versions up to, and including, 2.2.5 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.
