This vulnerability (CVE-2024-30195) affects Semenov New RoyalSlider through version 3.4.2 and is classified as CWE-79 (Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation). It enables reflected cross-site scripting attacks by failing to properly sanitize user input before including it in web pages. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates the attack can be performed remotely over the network without privileges, requires user interaction, and can result in partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of the affected web application, potentially leading to theft of user credentials, session hijacking, or other malicious actions impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The CVSS score of 7.1 reflects a high impact level. However, no active exploitation has been reported so far.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider applying web application firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block reflected XSS payloads targeting New RoyalSlider. Avoiding untrusted input in URLs or forms that interact with the slider may reduce risk. Monitor vendor channels for updates.
