Description
On trunk, Ultimate Tag Warrior and Category to Tag Converter are vulnerable to CSRF and XSS.
Proof of Concepts
- CSRF: Convert all categories to tags without user confirmation. http://localhost/wp/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wp-cat2tag&step=4
- XSS: Someone has commited code to debug wp-cat2tag converter:
echo '<!--'; print_r($_POST); print_r($_GET); echo '-->';
It allows XSS attacks:http://localhost/wp/wp-admin/admin.php?import=wp-cat2tag&--><script>alert(/XSS/)</script>

I'm partially to blame for the UTW importer (didn't check it over before committing) and wholly to blame for the second one (bad coding).
+2 to the patch.
