Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions ClickWhale – Link Manager, Link Shortener and Click Tracker for Affiliate Links & Link Pages plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 2.4.1

Description The issue is related to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting due to the use of add query arg and remove query arg without appropriate escaping on the URL.
