Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Comment Genius plugin for WordPress versions up to and including 1.2.5

Description The Comment Genius plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting. This is due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping of the $ SERVER['PHP SELF'] parameter. An unauthenticated attacker could inject arbitrary web scripts into pages, which would execute if a user is tricked into performing an action, such as clicking a link.

Recommendations Update the Comment Genius plugin to a version later than 1.2.5.
