CVE-2023-49852Network attack vector

Content injection into pages and posts

Published Jun 4, 2024 · Updated Apr 28, 2026

Basic XSS in Vsourz Digital Responsive Slick Slider WordPress 1.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject content into pages. The CNA and its sole Patchstack reference do not identify the affected function or input; they state only that script-related HTML tags are not neutralized. Public sources conflict on the access gate: the CNA vector specifies no privileges, while Patchstack lists Contributor access; the reported consequence is page or post content injection, including phishing content.
