Description

The Smart Slider 3 plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 3.5.1.36 via the replaceHTMLImage function.

A confirmed match is backed by the plugin or theme slug. A possible match is based on the product name only and should be verified.
