What is CVE-2024-8543?

The Slider Comparison Image plugin for WordPress is susceptible to Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) due to inadequate input sanitization and output escaping of user-supplied attributes. This vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access and above to inject malicious web scripts through the plugin's shortcode functionality. When these scripts are executed, they pose a risk to users who visit the compromised pages, effectively creating a pathway for various attacks, including data theft and session hijacking. All versions up to and including 0.8.3 are impacted by this security flaw.
