Description
The Simple Mail Address Encoder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to reflected Cross-Site Scripting in versions before 1.7 via the 'fwurl' parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.
