Description
The Responsive and Swipe slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the plugin's rsSlider shortcode in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.2 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied attributes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.

AI Analysis

Impact

The Responsive and Swipe Slider plugin for WordPress contains a stored cross‑site scripting flaw (CWE‑79) in the rsSlider shortcode. Unsanitized and unescaped user‑supplied attributes permit an attacker with contributor‑level access to embed malicious JavaScript that will run whenever any user visits the page containing the shortcode.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability exists in all releases of the Responsive and Swipe Slider plugin, up to and including version 1.0.2, supplied by the vendor mansoormunib.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.5 indicates moderate severity. EPSS is less than 1 %, implying a low likelihood of exploitation in the wild, and the flaw is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation requires the attacker to be authenticated with at least contributor privileges; once they can edit a page, the injected code will persist and execute for every visitor to that page.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Responsive and Swipe Slider plugin to a version newer than 1.0.2 or remove the plugin if no update is available
  • Disable the rsSlider shortcode by removing its definition or applying a filter that blocks it until the plugin is patched
  • Search existing posts and pages for rsSlider instances containing unexpected attributes and delete or correct any that contain malicious scripts
