Description

WordPress Plugin Redirection is prone to an HTML injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Successful exploits will allow attacker supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible. WordPress Plugin Redirection version 2.2.9 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.

Remediation

Update to plugin version 2.2.10 or latest
