Summary

The Slider by 10Web plugin for WordPress prior to version 1.2.62 contains a vulnerability due to insufficient sanitization and escaping of certain settings. This flaw allows users with high privileges, such as administrators, to exploit the vulnerability and launch Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, even when the unfiltered_html capability is restricted. This can be particularly concerning in multisite environments, where security constraints are paramount. Websites using this plugin are advised to update to the latest version to mitigate potential risks.
