XSS in plugins.php

Description

In the plugins's list, the metadata of a plugin is not validated correctly, because it allows to inject XSS through:

  • Plugin Name
  • Version
  • Plugin URI
  • Author
  • Author URI

Actually it works even with unactive plugins, but IMHO, an unactive plugin shouldn't be allowed to do anything.

This problem relies on blog administrators's responsibility to see if the plugin comes from a trustable source or not.

PS. Sorry for my bad English.
