WordPress Tweet Blender Plugin "tb_tab_index" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability


Description   High-Tech Bridge has reported a vulnerability in the Tweet Blender plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "tb_tab_index" POST parameter in wp-admin/options-general.php (when "page" is set to "tweet-blender/admin-page.php") 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 reported in versions prior to 4.0.2.
