Stored Cross-Site Scripting in Meteor Slides Plugin for WordPress

CVE-2024-12073

What is CVE-2024-12073?

The Meteor Slides plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with a Contributor-level role or higher to inject malicious scripts through the 'slide_url_value' parameter. When a user accesses the compromised page, the injected script executes, potentially leading to session hijacking, data theft, or other malicious activities. Users of Meteor Slides versions up to and including 1.5.7 are strongly advised to update to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability.
