Stored XSS via missing nonce check

Published Nov 8, 2022 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Cross-site request forgery in Testimonial Slider 1.3.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to store arbitrary HTML in WordPress. The admin-area update path fails to verify a WordPress nonce before accepting and storing attacker-controlled HTML. Exploitation requires a logged-in site owner to follow a targeted link, after which injected JavaScript can run in the WordPress origin.
