About Vulnerability
-------------------
This plugin is vulnerable to a combination of CSRF/XSS attack meaning that if
an admin user can be tricked to visit a crafted URL created by attacker (via
spear phishing/social engineering), the attacker can insert arbitrary script
into admin page. Once exploited, adminâ??s browser can be made to do almost
anything the admin user could typically do by hijacking admin's cookies etc.
