Description
WordPress Plugin Encrypted Blog is prone to multiple vulnerabilities, including cross-site scripting and open redirect vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site, to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to redirect users to arbitrary web sites and conduct phishing attacks; other attacks are also possible. WordPress Plugin Encrypted Blog version 0.0.6.2 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
Remediation
Update to plugin version 0.0.6.6 or latest
