An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site, to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, to compromise the application, access or modify data or to exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database. WordPress Plugin FeedWordPress version 2015.0426 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
