WordPress GD Star Rating Plugin 'wpfn' Parameter Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
The GD Star Rating plugin for WordPress is prone to a cross-site-scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

GD Star Rating 1.9.7 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
