Summary

The Slippy Slider – Responsive Touch Navigation Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's 'slippy-slider' shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 2.0 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

Risk Assessment

Stored XSS can allow an attacker to execute malicious code in a victim's browser, potentially leading to session theft, account takeover, or content modification. The risk affects WordPress sites with the vulnerable plugin installed and accounts with contributor-level permissions.

Recommendation

Update the Slippy Slider plugin to a version later than 2.0 or remove it if not in use. Additionally, restrict contributor account permissions and regularly review site content.
