DESCRIPTION:
Sammy Forgit has discovered a vulnerability in the WP Socializer
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "val" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/wp-socializer/admin/wpsr-services-selector.php is
not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.4.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
