Hi Ernest,

We ran Code Scanner through a WordPress Security Plugin and received the following, specific to your Plugin:

<div class=”errorMsg”>This search instance (id=<?php echo $_GET[‘asp_sid’] ; ?>) does not exists.</div>

<div id=”wpdreams” class=’wpdreams wrap’ style=”min-width: 1280px;” data-searchid=”<?php echo $_GET[‘asp_sid’]; ?>”>

The Plugin author suggests this vulnerability to be removed ASAP.

Thanks.

Hi!

Thank you very much for reporting this back to me!

I will look into this in more details, but fortunately this is only a back-end accessible file inclusion. Basically only the logged in administrator could maybe do something with it, it is not accessible for anyone else. Nevertheless I will definitely change it, just in case.

Best,
