WordPress plugin abc-test 0.1 allows cross site scripting via unsanitized input from $_GET ['id']. Version 0.2 fixes the vulnerability

Code
`This effects version 0.1 of abc-test the hole is fixed in version 0.2  
  
---------  
Affected products:  
---------  
  
Product : wordpress plugin abc-test  
Affected file: abctest_config.php  
  
----  
Details:  
----  
  
The file abctest_config.php does not sanitize the input from $_GET ['id']  
effectively. This allows a user to launch a cross site scripting attack  
against this file. While the effectiveness of such an attack is somewhat  
limited by the wordpress platform adding \ to quotes, it still may be  
possible to inject cookie stealing objects (flash files for example).  
  
Example code:  
  
http://localhost/blog/wp-admin/admin.php?page=abctest&do=edit&id=%22%3E%3Ch1  
%3EXSS%3C/h1  
  
-------  
Suggested fix:  
-------  
  
Sanitize the $_GET super global.
