WordPress GRAND FlAGallery Plugin "s" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability


Description   Charlie Eriksen has discovered a vulnerability in the GRAND FlAGallery plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "s" GET parameter to wp-admin/admin.php (when "page" is set to "flag-manage-gallery") is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.70. Other versions may also be affected.
