Description
Blogroll Fun plugin for WordPress before 0.8.5 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to inject scripts through the 'k' parameter in blogroll.php. Attackers can craft GET requests to /wp-content/plugins/blogroll-fun/blogroll.php with malicious 'k' values that are echoed unsanitized, executing JavaScript in victims' browsers. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2023-10-19.
