  name: Ditty < 3.1.25 - Cross-Site Scripting
  author: r3Y3r53
  severity: medium
  description: |
    The Ditty WordPress plugin before 3.1.25 does not sanitise and escape some parameters and generated URLs before outputting them back in attributes, leading to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting which could be used against high privilege users such as admin.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can inject malicious JavaScript through unsanitized parameters and generated URLs to steal session cookies from high-privilege users including WordPress administrators.
  remediation: Fixed in version 3.1.25
