What is CVE-2018-17946?

The Tribulant Slideshow Gallery plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks due to improper handling of user input in several parameters, including 'id', 'method', 'Gallerymessage', 'Galleryerror', and 'Galleryupdated'.

Users are advised to update to version 1.6.6.1 or higher to mitigate this risk.
