CVE-2019-16521
The Broken Link Checker plugin before version 1.11.9 contains a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability where user-supplied input from the s_filter GET parameter is not properly sanitized before being output into the HTML of the broken links listing page. An attacker could craft a malicious link containing JavaScript code in the s_filter parameter that would execute in a victim's browser when the page is filtered using a filter_id=search request. The plugin is no longer actively maintained.
