CVE-2024-3285

Summary

CVE-2024-3285 is a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability affecting the Slider, Gallery, and Carousel by MetaSlider plugin for WordPress. This issue, which exists in all versions up to 3.70.0, allows authenticated attackers with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary web scripts. The vulnerability stems from insufficient input sanitization and output escaping on user-supplied attributes within the plugin's 'metaslider' shortcode. Consequently, injected pages will execute the malicious scripts whenever a user accesses them.
