Summary

CVE-2024-1449 is a vulnerability found in the Master Slider - Responsive Touch Slider plugin for WordPress, affecting all versions up to and including 3.9.5. The vulnerability allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level and above permissions to inject arbitrary web scripts through the plugin's ms_slide shortcode, leading to stored cross-site scripting (XSS). This means that whenever a user accesses an injected page, the injected scripts will execute. The risk score of this vulnerability is 25, with a base severity of MEDIUM. Remediation for this vulnerability involves updating the plugin to a version beyond 3.9.5 to ensure sufficient input sanitization and output escaping are implemented.
