Readycheck to confirm it

The WPMovieLibrary WordPress plugin through version 2.1.4.8 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. The plugin does not properly sanitize and escape the 'order' parameter in the import page before outputting it back, which could allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in an administrator's browser context.

Impact

Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary JavaScript in an administrator's browser context via the order parameter, potentially leading to session hijacking or privilege escalation.

Fix

Update WPMovieLibrary plugin to a version newer than 2.1.4.8.
