Impact

The WP Posts Carousel plugin contains an improper neutralization of user input during page generation, enabling stored cross‑site scripting that can execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of a victim’s browser, potentially hijacking sessions or defacing content.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects the teastudio.pl WP Posts Carousel plugin version 1.3.7 and earlier.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 6.5 indicates a medium severity, and the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. Stored XSS typically requires an attacker to inject malicious payloads into the workflow of the plugin’s content markup; the likely attack vector is through the plugin’s input area that stores data for display in the posts carousel.
