DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in the WP Featured Post with
thumbnail plugin for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

wp-content/plugins/wp-featured-post-with-thumbnail/scripts/timthumb.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 reported in version 3.0. Other versions may also
be affected.

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