Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Kama SpamBlock plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.8.2

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via $ POST values due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This allows 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, 1.8.2, update to a version later than 1.8.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to pages that execute user-inputted data to minimize the risk of exploitation.
