RETIRED: WordPress Better WP Security Plugin HTML Injection Vulnerability

Better WP Security plugin for WordPress is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code could be executed in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Versions prior to Better WP Security 3.5.4 are vulnerable.

NOTE: This BID is being retired as a duplicate of BID 61518 (WordPress Better WP Security Plugin 'logevent()' Function HTML Injection Vulnerability).
