Description

WP Featured Post with Thumbnail Plugin for WordPress contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'src' parameter upon submission to the 'wp-content/plugins/wp-featured-post-with-thumbnail/scripts/timthumb.php' script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
