Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Carousel and Slider Plugins for WordPress

CVE-2023-5362

What is CVE-2023-5362?

The Carousel, Recent Post Slider, and Banner Slider plugins for WordPress exhibit a vulnerability that allows authenticated users with contributor-level access or higher to exploit insufficient input sanitization and output escaping via the 'spice_post_slider' shortcode. This leads to the potential for attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts, which will execute whenever a user visits any page containing the injected content, thereby compromising the integrity of affected websites.
