DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the PHP Speedy plugin for
WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "title" parameter in
wp-content/plugins/php_speedy_wp/libs/php_speedy/view/admin_container.php
is not properly sanitised 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.

2) Input passed via the "page" parameter to
wp-content/plugins/php_speedy_wp/libs/php_speedy/view/admin_container.php
is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can
be exploited to include arbitrary files from local or remote
resources.

Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities requires that
"register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.5.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and
verified.
