WordPress Frontend Uploader Plugin 'errors' Parameter Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Frontend Uploader plugin for WordPress is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Frontend Uploader 0.9.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
