Descriptions

The Product Slider For WooCommerce Lite WordPress plugin through 1.1.7 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 Product Slider For WooCommerce Lite plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Meta Keys in versions up to, and including, 1.1.7 due to insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user supplied Meta Keys and Values. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts in pages that will execute whenever a user accesses an injected page.
