Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions WP-JS plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 2.0.6

Description The issue concerns the wp-js.php script in the WP-JS plugin, specifically the wp js admin function, which accepts unvalidated user input and echoes it back to the user. This can be exploited for reflected Cross-Site Scripting.

Recommendations For versions up to and including 2.0.6, update to a version that fixes this issue to prevent reflected Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the wp js admin function in the wp-js.php script until a patch is available.
