Description

The wordpress vertical image slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘search_term’ parameter in versions up to, and including, 1.2.16 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that execute if they can successfully trick a user into performing an action such as clicking on a link.

Affected products and versions

  • nik00726 Vertical Image Slider — Up to and including 1.2.16
  • i13websolution wordpress_vertical_image_slider — Before 1.2.17
