Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: WPFactory Helper plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.7.0

Description: The WPFactory Helper plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add query arg without appropriate escaping on the URL. 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.

Recommendations: Update the plugin to the latest patched version immediately. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin until a patch is available.
