Description
WordPress Plugin GN Publisher: Google News Compatible RSS Feeds is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site.
