Description

WordPress Plugin Cross-RSS is prone to a directory traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting this issue can allow an attacker to obtain sensitive information that could aid in further attacks. WordPress Plugin Cross-RSS version 1.7 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly verified or disable the plugin until a fix is available
