Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: DK PDF plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9.6

Description: The DK PDF 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: For versions up to, and including, 1.9.6, update to a version later than 1.9.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the plugin's functionality until a patch is available. Avoid using the add query arg function without proper escaping on the URL in the affected plugin.
