CVE-2023-28792Network attack vector

Unauthenticated script execution via unescaped request parameters

Published Apr 7, 2023 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Reflected XSS in Continuous Image Carousel With Lightbox 1.0.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject scripts via crafted requests. The plugin returns the search_term, order_by, and order_pos request parameters in generated pages without sufficient sanitization or output escaping. No account is required, but a victim must follow a crafted link or take a comparable attacker-induced action for the browser to execute the injected script in the site's origin.
