Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in John West Slideshow SE plugin <= 2.5.5 versions.
The Slideshow SE plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting in certain plugin configurations in versions up to, and including, 2.5.5 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level permissions and above, to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
