Reflected XSS in Shopfiles Ltd Ebook Store before 5.8015 allows remote attackers to run scripts through a crafted administrator-page URL. The plugin inserts $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] into an HTML attribute without output escaping on the options-general.php settings page. Exploitation requires WP Super Cache, an authenticated administrator to follow the crafted link, and an old browser; resulting scripts execute in that administrator's site context.
