DESCRIPTION:
Charlie Eriksen has discovered a vulnerability in Pretty Link Lite
plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "search" parameter to wp-admin/admin.php (when
"page" is set to "pretty-link") 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 1.6.0. Prior versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.6.1.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
