Descriptions

The WP Contact Slider WordPress plugin before 2.4.7 does not sanitize and escape the Text to Display settings of sliders, which could allow high privileged users such as editor and above to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks even when the unfiltered_html is disallowed

El plugin WP Contact Slider de WordPress versiones anteriores a 2.4.7, no sanea ni escapa de los parámetros de Texto a Mostrar de los sliders, lo que podría permitir a usuarios con altos privilegios, como el editor y superiores, llevar a cabo ataques de tipo Cross-Site Scripting incluso cuando el unfiltered_html no está permitido

The WP Contact Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via the settings of sliders in versions up to, and including, 2.4.6 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with editor level permissions and above to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page. This only affects multisite installations and installations where unfiltered_html has been disabled.
