**Description**
A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the `get-data` parameter. This affects various software products, including the Pretty Link Lite plugin for WordPress, JNews component for Joomla!, and CiviCRM.
**Recommendations**
For Pretty Link Lite plugin versions prior to 1.6.3, update to version 1.6.3 or later.
For JNews (com jnews) component version 8.0.1, consider disabling the component until a patch is available.
For CiviCRM versions 3.1.0 through 4.2.9 and 4.3.0 through 4.3.3, update to a version outside of these ranges.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `get-data` parameter in the affected API endpoint until a patch is available.
