This vulnerability in Averta Master Slider (up to version 3.9.8) is a stored cross-site scripting (CWE-79) issue caused by improper input neutralization during web page generation. An attacker with low privileges can inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of other users, potentially leading to partial confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. The CVSS 3.1 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, requiring privileges and user interaction, with scope changed and low impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary scripts in the context of other users, potentially leading to information disclosure, modification of content, or disruption of service. The impact is rated as medium severity with partial loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. There are no reports of active exploitation in the wild.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
