Stored script execution via unescaped shortcode attributes
Published Dec 14, 2024 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in Gopiplus WP Photo Text Slider 50 8.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through shortcode attributes. The wp-photo-slider shortcode insufficiently sanitizes user-supplied attributes and renders them without adequate output escaping, preserving attacker-controlled script in a page. Contributor-level access is required to inject the content, which executes whenever a visitor opens the affected page.
