DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in StatPressCN plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "what1", "what2", "what3", "what4", and "what5"
parameters to wp-admin/admin.php (when "page" is set to "spc-search")
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 vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.9.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
