Stored XSS via unescaped testimonial author names
Published Jan 30, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2026
Stored XSS in WordPresteem Testimonial Slider 1.5 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to inject scripts through author names. The plugin stores testimonial author-name input without sufficient sanitization, then renders that input into pages without output escaping. Contributor-level access is required; injected script runs in the browser of any person opening an affected testimonial page and can access data or perform actions in the page context.
