WP Easy Poll 1.1.3 XSS and CSRF

WP Easy Poll 1.1.3 is vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF). An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code into the 'p_ques' parameter of the 'wp_easy_poll.php' script. This code will be executed in the browser of the victim when the poll is viewed. An attacker can also craft a malicious link and send it to the victim, which when clicked, will add a poll with the malicious JavaScript code in it.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be performed to ensure that the data being submitted is valid and does not contain malicious code.
