Description
WordPress Plugin Slideshow is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and information disclosure vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site, to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to obtain sensitive information which may help in launching further attacks. WordPress Plugin Slideshow version 2.1.12 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
Remediation
Update to plugin version 2.1.16 or latest
