Input validation vulnerability in Broken Link Checker 1.10.6

  • Severity: medium-risk
  • Status: Fixed
  • Publication: April 20, 2015

The Broken Link Checker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to a type of cyber attack called Cross-Site Scripting. This type of attack can occur when the plugin is used in versions up to and including 1.10.5. This is because the plugin does not properly sanitize and escape input and output, and uses add_query_arg/remove_query_arg. This makes it possible for attackers to inject malicious code into a victim’s web browser.
