Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Log HTTP Requests plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.3.1

Description The issue is related to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via logged HTTP requests due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows unauthenticated attackers, who can trick a site's administrator into performing a specific action, or an authenticated user with access to a page that sends a request using user-supplied data via the server, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages. These scripts will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Recommendations For versions up to, and including, 1.3.1, update to a version that addresses the insufficient input sanitization and output escaping issue to prevent Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the logged HTTP requests feature until a patch is available.
