Cross-Site Scripting in WP Ajax Recent Posts WordPress Plugin
The WP Ajax Recent Posts WordPress Plugin is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to update to the latest version of the WP Ajax Recent Posts WordPress Plugin and sanitize user-supplied input to prevent script injection.
