CVE-2014-6243

The EWWW Image Optimizer plugin before version 2.0.2 contains a cross-site scripting flaw that allows attackers to inject malicious scripts or HTML code through the error parameter on the wp-admin/options-general.php page. The vulnerability exists because user input from this parameter is not sanitized before being displayed in pngout error messages, enabling attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of an administrator's browser.
