Description

The Broken Link Checker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting in versions up to, and including, 1.10.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping and the use of add_query_arg/remove_query_arg. This makes it possible for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts that execute in a victim's browser.
