Security Vulnerabilities in WP-Cumulus for WordPress

The Full Path Disclosure vulnerability allows an attacker to view the full path of the server, while the Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability allows an attacker to inject malicious code into the website. The code will execute after a user clicks on it, and it is a strictly social XSS.

Mitigation:

Disable the plugin until a patch is released, or upgrade to the latest version of the plugin.

I want to warn you about security vulnerabilities in plugin WP-Cumulus for
WordPress.

These are Full path disclosure and Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities.

Full path disclosure:

http://server/wp-content/plugins/wp-cumulus/wp-cumulus.php

XSS:

http://server/wp-content/plugins/wp-cumulus/tagcloud.swf?mode=tags&tagcloud=%3Ctags%3E%3Ca+href='javascript:alert(document.cookie)'+style='font-size:+40pt'%3EClick%20me%3C/a%3E%3C/tags%3E
