Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
The FPW Category Thumbnails plugin for WordPress has a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'id' parameter of the 'fpw_fs_get_file' AJAX action. This vulnerability exists in all versions up to and including 1.9.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping.
