DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Slideshow plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct
script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed via the "videoId", "url", "title", and "description"
values of the "slides" array to views/SlideshowPlugin/slideshow.php
is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to
insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site when the
malicious data is being viewed.
2) Input passed via the "slideSpeed", "descriptionSpeed",
"intervalSpeed", "slidesPerView", "width", "height", and
"descriptionHeight" values of the "data" array to
classes/SlideshowPluginPostType.php is not properly sanitised before
being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script
code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of
an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1.14. Other versions
may also be affected.
