Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Hot Random Image plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9.2

The link parameter is specifically vulnerable to this type of attack.

Recommendations For Hot Random Image plugin for WordPress versions up to, and including, 1.9.2, update to a version later than 1.9.2 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the link parameter to minimize the risk of exploitation.
