Description
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Firelight Lightbox WordPress plugin before version 2.3.24. The plugin does not properly escape image attribute values, allowing users with contributor-level access or higher to inject arbitrary scripts. These scripts execute when other users view or preview the affected content. This issue is fixed in version 2.3.24.
