Summary

The Favicon Rotator plugin for WordPress in all versions through 1.2.11 does not sanitize input or escape output for request parameters prefixed with fvrt_, which is an improper neutralization of input during web page generation (CWE-79). An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, and those scripts run when a user is tricked into clicking a link.

Description from the CNA

The Favicon Rotator plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the 'fvrt_' prefixed request parameters in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.11 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.
