CVSS: 5.8 (Medium; AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N)

Description
================
Reflected XSS in MailChimp for WordPress could allow an attacker to do almost anything an admin user can

Vulnerability
================
If an attacker can trick a logged-in admin user into visiting a particular URL, they can execute JavaScript in the 
user’s browser which can perform almost any action that the user can.

Proof of concept
================
Assuming you have the site running on http://localhost/ with the plugin activated, visit this URL in a browser without 
reflected XSS mitigation measures (i.e. Firefox):
http://localhost/wp-admin/admin.php?page=mailchimp-for-wp-integrations&integration=%3Cscript%3Ealert%281%29%3C%2Fscript%3E

Mitigations
================
Update to version 4.0.11 or later.
