Accordion Slider, CVE-2024-9582

CVE, Research URL: CVE-2024-9582
Home page URL: Security reports for Accordion Slider
Application: Accordion Slider
Published on: Oct 16, 2024
Research Description: The Accordion Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the ‘html’ attribute of an accordion slider in all versions up to, and including, 1.9.11 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with Contributor-level access and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. NOTE: Successful exploitation by Contributor-level users requires an Administrator-level user to provide access to the plugin's admin area via the `Access` plugin setting, which is restricted to administrators by default.
Affected versions: Min -, max 1.9.12.
Status: vulnerable
