Descriptions

Wordfence

The Logo Slider WordPress plugin before 3.6.0 does not validate and escape some of its shortcode attributes before outputting them back in a page/post where the shortcode is embed, which could allow users with the contributor role and above to perform Stored Cross-Site Scripting attacks

The Logo Slider plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via numerous shortcodes in versions up to, and including, 3.5.3 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping in the 'lgx_output_function_dep' function. This makes it possible for contributor-level attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
