DESCRIPTION:
MustLive has discovered a vulnerability in the Wordfence plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed via the "email" POST parameter to e.g. index.php (when
"_wfsf" is set to "unlockEmail") is not properly sanitised in
wp-content/plugins/wordfence/lib/wordfenceClass.php before being
returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected
site.

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 3.3.5. Other versions may
also affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.3.7.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Eugene Dokukin aka MustLive.
