Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Prismatic WordPress plugin versions prior to 2.8

Description The issue is related to a reflected Cross-Site Scripting problem. It occurs because the tab GET parameter is not properly escaped before being outputted back in an attribute. This allows for the execution of malicious scripts in the context of a logged-in administrator.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.8, update to version 2.8 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tab GET parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
